Yesterday's CV writers, of course, appear unaware of spellcheckers, but most people involved in publishing use it wisely, taking full advantage of Microsoft's red squiggles beneath misspelt (or should that be miss-spelled?) words.
This by no means puts a complete end to errors being published for all to see – our great country's all too slack education system has seen to that.
Guru fondly remembers the front page of an essential heating and ventilation magazine being read by his colleagues in facilities, which announced in a subtle size 42 font, that All plumbers are pre-madonnas, presumably suggesting that they qualified before 1983.
Well this time it is Unison that has made a smile slowly appear on Guru's face as he dunked a slice of swiss roll in his afternoon cuppa...
Clearly through mishap rather than misconstruction, Unison has described itself in a press release as 'the UK’s largest pubic sector union'.
Guru always suspected as much.
Now all that remains to see is how long it takes for the merkinaceous unionistas of Euston Road to correct it. Yours Truly is now taking bets...

A pubic organisation - Nobody knows the purpose of it or what its for! Full of creepy crawlies! Embarassing to talk about! Tells people it's there for pleasure but always gets you into more trouble!... is UNISON calling itself a pubic organisation an error after all?
