Washington school children celebrate Dalai Lama

I have noticed that instead of using “public appearance,” it was written as “pubic appearance” instead.

One comment so far

If you think that’s different, Google “certified pubic accountant”. Making an embarrassing error in a news story is one thing; doing it on a business website - well, that’s a whole lot of special.

Especially if the accountant is in Gaylord, MN.
