We had a teacher in grades 5 and 6 (as in me and a handful of other CP members who were in elementary school with me) whose job was formerly the typist for a TV station for the online descriptors. I remember her saying it was a tough job as you have very little time to get something on screen - maybe seconds - as the producer would be yelling instructions as they set the news.

We asked her if she ever made a mistake. She said that she did and it happens more often than people realize. Then we asked her what her worst mistake was. To this day I remember her response. She said "I left the "L" out of Public Defender"
