Madeline Sheridan
Apparently our Nov. 8 edition had no typos. I know, I was surprised too but no one entered the contest so what other explanation could there be?
Fortunately, our Oct. 25 had EXTRA typos. And so, it is my pleasure to award a shirt and a Radiant Press book to Madeline Sheridan for pointing out my misspelling of the word “Celsius” (not “Celcius”) in Gwynne Dyer’s column. Yes, it was my dumb edit. Editing is hard, you guys!
For correcting my idiocy, Madeline — who crunches numbers for the WCB in her day job and once brought us delicious brownies shaped like turds — becomes a three-time Typo Wiener. She acquires a coveted Typo Wiener shirt plus a copy of Gillian Harding-Russell’s new poetry collection In Another Air, courtesy contest sponsor Radiant Press (radiantpress.ca).
Congratulations Madeline! /Stephen Whitworth
