Yikes. I just blogged a story over on Making Waves titled “Whales: more money in watching them than eating them.” At the moment I hit the publish button, I spotted a typo in the headline.
I misspelled “than” as “then.”
By catching it, I may have missed a chance to get published in the New Yorker. Though my chosen spot would not have been the amusing little nuggest at the story footers lambasting unintentionally hilarious abuses of the English language.

Now you know you have lived in Holland a loooooong time.
Than and then mix ups are a classic error.
