I see lots of strange things in the papers; sometimes I think I am cursed with an eye that finds mistakes just so I can be aggravated. I hate it when I find an error in a book because I keep going back to it with my eye while I am on that page and with my mind after I turn the page. Example: in Leon Uris' latest novel he has a character making a reference to West Virginia in 1861. ARGH!!!
Anyway, I have seen wrought iron referred to many times in the paper as either rot iron or rod iron. Double ARGH!
