(From today's Guardian (UK national newspaper), Wednesday 21st June)
"Correction
Because of the startling simplicity of computer programme logic, the
Labour Party's successful candidate in the London South West seat of
the European elections was printed on Monday as Ms A J Turnoutack,
rather than Ms A J Pollack. On Tuesday, her name was again spelt
incorrectly.
The computer programme which run [sic] to massage the results into
printed form changed each occurrence of the work Poll, into Turnout."
