Why is there a big part of me that thinks this wasn't an accident?

BringHam Young - definitely not a Jewish school. Is that Brigham Young's alter ego that allows its teams to play on Sundays?

I see it as a WASPy school that really likes the jamon iberico it sampled in its intensive three-month study abroad in Madrid which really opened the doors of perception to foreign cultures and gave an appreciation to, like, the wider world and stuff.

THAT'S a bit embarrassing!
I can see how this was missed by whomever checked the artwork. I had to read it a couple of times to catch the error even with the knowledge that something was wrong. My mind refused to read anything but Brigham Young.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

Never underestimate the value of a good proofreader. ;D

When my oldest son turned three, I ordered him a cake with "Happy Birthday Jeffrey" on it, spelled out in block letters on the order form.
When I went to pick up the cake, it said "Happy Birthday, Jeffery." I pointed out the error to the baker, and she looked at the juxtaposed letters for a long time. Finally, she said, "Well, it's normally spelled "E-R-Y." I said, "thanks for that, but since it's too late to change the spelling of his name, could you just redo the spelling of his name on the cake?"
