Embareassing Errer

"The country's central bank has claimed mea culpa after an
eagle-eyed radio listener noticed that there was a microscopic
typo on the country’s new 50 Australian dollar ($35) bank note.
Triple M Radio posted on Instagram on Thursday a magnified
photograph of the bank note showing the misspelling of
“responsibility.” The word appears three times on the note, and
every time, the third “I” is missing."

Awesome. I bet it was mis-spelled because that is how it sounds
in an Aussie accent :-)

What a relief! Nobody is perfect.
I often misspell but nowadays the computer checks my errors.
Why not using the function of spell checking before printing
them out? :D
It should be three i in the word, responsibility. But there are
only two.
[quote]The misspell appears in an extract from her first speech
to the Western Australia state Parliament in 1921 that is
printed in what appears to be a lawn next to her bust.

The person who noticed this tiny error seemed to focus on her
bust. What does her bust look like? I'm just curious. Hold on,
what's bust? normal meaning?

All of these non-standard accents create so much confusion
around the world. Their lives would run much smoother if they
would adopt an American accent. Pick one, any one. Ours are all
superior. :P

I wondered who'd be the first to catch that. Good job.
