Ouch!

A journal changed two words in one of my articles -- after the supposedly last page proofs --  one was a quote from Stephen Carter where the meaning was altered a bit by changingn "sentience" to "sentence" and where an idea I thought would give "pause" to some, was changed to give "rise" to them.

Sigh.

I would be inclined to say journal editing ain't what it used to be -- but I have no empirical basis for comparison -- I suspect such errors have crept in since the beginning of printing with removable type -- and certainly existed previously with hand copying.

Kent Greenawalt's recent article on Religion and the Rehnquist Court (99 Northwestern L.Rev. 145,161) contains a very funny typo. He is talking about  potential Bush SCOTUS nominees, and he mentions "the much, and desevedly, admired writings of Michael McDonnell...." Ouch! Heads must be rolling at Northwestern!

But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane,

In proving foresight may be vain;

The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men

                    Gang aft agley,

An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,

                    For promis’d joy! 


Robert Burns, 1785
