In the illustration for the Were 40% of Native American women forcibly sterilized in the 1970s? column, the door from which an arm is extended is incorrectly labeled:
STERILE
IZATION
Obviously, in order to conform with proper spelling practices, this should have been rendered as:
STERIL-
IZATION
In addition, we are reminded that on page 198 of Triumph of the Straight Dope, a teleportation device is labeled RECIEVE [sic] (http://www.straightdope.com/art/1996/960607.gif) So it’s not like this is the first offense. As suitable punishment, I suggest that Slug be required to write “I will endeavor to spell correctly” one hundred (100) times on the blackboard.
Thank you for your attention to this vitally important matter.
