Thomas Jefferson finding typos in the Declaration of Independence? A royal scrivener having to squeeze the last sentence into the margins of the Magna Carta? Writing a great play and then finding out that somebody already wrote “Hamlet”? Spelling St. Peter’s name wrong in your Heaven admission essay? Finding passive-voice constructions in your blog post about the evils of passive voice?
