    I’m assuming—or praying—the gaffe was a joke. I took it as a historical allusion:

    I think it’s highly possible this was intentional — and it answers its own question.

    “When it comes to proofreading,
    The red penis your friend.”
    — Taylor Mali, “The the impotence of proofreading”

    Yeah, the LRB has a good sense of humour.

    (Much prose fiction clearly isn’t proof-read in a traditional manner any more: if it passes the spell-check, it gets published.)

    APRIL FOOL!!!!!!

  • I hope so. But as I noted in the Facebook comments of this post, the fact that we cannot really be sure is an indication that rampant grammar abuse is a problem.
