SOUTH BEND — If you ever wondered how much difference just one letter can make when it comes to a message, ask the thousands of people who drove by a digital billboard near the intersection of Ironwood and Indiana 23 between Thursday and Monday morning.The ad urged people to go to the “southbendon.com” website for a look at the “15 best things about our pubic schools.” That’s right, the billboard said “pubic” instead of “public” schools. The letter “L” had been left out of the word public.

That reminds me of a manuscript I recently worked on. The authors had doctorates, one from Berkeley and the other from UH. In the FIRST sentence of the book, they referred to "pubic administration."
Yikes!!
