Misssion (for Mission)
Jeffrey's selection of "Misssion" made me think immediately of "Mission: Impossible," the TV show from the sixties. I was such a faithful fan! Couldn’t wait to see the tape spinning in the huge tape recorder, hear what the next top-secret assignment would be, wonder if the agent would chose to accept, and then watch the tape catch fire and go up in smoke. What state-of-the-art technology! We may chuckle about 1960s technology and special effects--but technology for finding typos in online catalogs has not advanced much. Until our online catalogs begin to highlight or identify typos in bibliographic records, we will continue to find typos the old-fashioned way, by looking for them, and making those manual corrections one-by-one. Should you choose to accept this challenge and seek out the typo "Misssion" in your catalog, you may find you have very few entries to correct.
