A Real Corker

Perhaps I'm easily amused, but I broke out laughing at the corrections in today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch -- which won't be online until they're good and ready in a few days. But they were correcting a typo in a letter to the editor (not present in the online version), and announced that the correct title of Marshall McCluhan's book is "The Medium is the Massage". Maybe they should spell check with a human and not a program, or maybe I applaud an editor slipping one in on a slow Friday night.

We welcome comments. However, use no profanity and be civil.

McCluhan did write a book The Medium is the Massage but is famous for the aphorism the medium is the message in his book Understanding Media (which also coins "the global village").
