"A crow's ear ... or is it crosier?
After the funeral of Pope John Paul II, the International Herald Tribune described his vestments and added: "Tucked under his left arm was the silver staff, called the crow's ear, that he had carried in public."
Actually, that ornate shepherd's staff is called a crosier (or crozier), not a "crow's ear." And did a BBC producer really write a subtitle that said "Karma Light" nuns were mourning the pope (as opposed to Carmelites)?
OK, one more. Not long ago, Newsweek magazine covered Virginia's Liberty University debate team, ranked No. 1 in the nation. The Rev. Jerry Falwell explained that his team was involved in a unique kind of ministry to the culture. Alas, he used a biblical metaphor that led to this correction: "Newsweek misquoted Falwell as referring to 'assault ministry.' In fact, Falwell was referring to 'a salt ministry' — a reference to Matthew 5:13, where Jesus says, 'Ye are the salt of the earth.' We regret the error." "
