I don&#8217;t worry too much about misspellings, typos, and other pretty constant static in my blog posts. I&#8217;ll occasionally find a blooper and quietly correct it. For instance yesterday when I was going through &#8220;uncategorized&#8221; posts which I had simply forgotten to file in one or more of the topical categories on the right side of the blog I found one that mentioned Der Spiegaj&#8230;&#8230;.Oops. I meant the German publication Der Speigel. I changed the j to an l without remarking on the correction. <\/p>\n<p>When I do make substantive mistakes I take pride in noting them even when it burns a little to admit my human frailty. I just ran into an old post called &#8220;I stand corrected&#8221; and it made me wonder how often I&#8217;d used the phrase. Then I wondered about how many other ways I could locate past apologies for providing misinformation in the past. <\/p>\n<p>Here are a few other trite phrases I&#8217;ve used to correct past posts. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?s=%22I+stand+corrected%22\">I stand corrected<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?s=%22I+was+wrong%22\">I was wrong<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?s=%22my+mistake%22\">my mistake<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mea Culpa I make my share of mistakes.
