This misspelling has 66 occurrences in the OhioLINK database. It falls into Section B of the main list of Typographical Errors in Library Databases. This word has a greater chance of being a typo, I think, because it can occur in so many places in a bib record. It can be in a name or subject heading, it can be in the title, and it can be in the imprint statement, specifically, as the publisher of a book or pamphlet. I think we ought to have a group look into this. Perhaps we can form a typos subcommittee.Picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/denverjeffrey/2992654773/in/photostream/

Is it the first time that a typo occurs in the title? Yielding moreover a delightful phrase of the form "X (for X)"?
Of course, you mean "Subcommite* for Subcommitte*"
there's a typo in your header. :+)

I think you have a typo in your title. In and outside of the parentheses it reads "Subcommite*". Perhaps an added "t" is in order.
