Re: Most embarasssing error (was Finding errors in manuals)

["Dave Kerschbaum" <dave -at- smackdabdesign -dot- com>]

I once described the location of 'restroom straps' in a manual for flight
attendants. It was supposed to be 'restraint straps.' I can't remember if it
was my proofreader or the FAA who caught it.

The moral here is one that we've all heard and preached before, but merits
repeating: when using spell check, make sure you know what you're agreeing
to when you click "Change."
