Almost

There’s a word that we always do a find-and-replace search for in my office before we send out a document. It’s a good idea to do on general principles, but particularly with the type of work I do, and the type of things we discuss, it’s a very common typo that we’d prefer not to make. And I almost did it today:

EPCRA contains provisions for emergency planning as well as pubic education

Well, that would have been awkward, wouldn’t it?

Although, we did send a document out and after it was reviewed by many, many people, I was the only one who caught the EPA being defined as the Environmental Procreation Agency. (Fortunately, we cleaned it up before the client saw it for the second time.)

So really, I think that as long as most of the letters are correct, people’s brains will skip over those things without meaning to. But you hate to be the author when they don’t.
