In [this HuffPost story](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ted-lewis/chapos-second-escape-highlights-drug-war-farce_b_7783006.html) is this line: “In the lead up to that summit we are planning events and a caravan to directly raise these questions in dome of the countries most damaged by the drug war”. Is “in dome” a typo? Never seen the phrase before. ---

It’s got to be “in some of the countries”. I’ve never heard “in dome” before. ---

Hmm. Don’t know about “deeply” ironic. The only thing I see is that you asked a question about domething that, as you surmised, was a typo. Your username could also be construed as being a typo for “Son of a Bi(t)ch”. Laughter ensues. ---
