The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Huck he made his slip
Down the Mississip
On a raft with Jim
And the Dauphin
They had an amazing trip

In order to appreciate what follows, I point you, my loyal readers, to this link.

I received the following message this morning:

If anyone in the office gets a call or question from any Florida Member (or otherwise) about a misspelled Endeavor Banner being hung at KSC, please forward or direct to me to work in tandem with the Public Communications group, which has developed standard material. Thanks -K

K immediately followed this email with this one:

Which it would help if I myself could spell it right in my own e-mails!!! -K

I responded thusly to her latter email:

Yea but you used the reflexive pronoun properly, which trumps typos anytime!

You know, that's what we get for naming an American space ship after an 18th century British Bark. The shuttle was American-made, it should have been American-named :)

I immediately followed this email with this one:

All joking aside, I don't get why it’s a big deal. There have been (and could have been) much worse typos, and everyone makes them. At least this was a British/American English mistake, what if the banner read " Godpeed Endeavour!" or "Good Lust, Endeavour!" I think that would be much worse.
