Re: Typos of the week!

Of course! Even if the document is in 8 pt. Univers in brown ink on ivory paper
(don't laugh, this was standard for the main procedure manual around here at one
time). But put the same mistake in 24 point Helvetica bold in *MY* work, and
I'll miss it every time. Funny, ain't it?
