Corrections
Slate’s mistakes.
In a Sept. 29 Double X, Nora Caplan-Bricker misidentified Merriam-Webster lexicographer Emily Brewster as Megan Lunghi. Caplan-Bricker also misidentified who allowed the definitions of “man” and “woman” to stand; it was one of the dictionary's science editors, not Brewster.
In a Sept. 29 Movies, Dana Stevens misstated that Blade Runner 2049 is set 40 years after the original. It’s set 30 years after.
In a Sept. 28 Culturebox, Laura Miller misstated that The Butterfly Effect will be released on iTunes on Oct. 12. The podcast will be released on iTunes on Nov. 3 (it’s available exclusively on Audible until then).
In a Sept. 26 Brow Beat, Marissa Martinelli misspelled Jemele Hill’s first name.
In a Sept. 26 Future Tense, Kevin Bankston misstated the year in which the Electronic Frontiers Forums graduated from a single session to an entire track of programming at Dragon Con. That change occurred in 1999, not 2003.
