A Day For Spelling Errors

Sadly, neither birthday cakes nor the Hollywood Walk of Fame has spell check:
Bobby Cox’s final season as Braves manager is not quite going as expected. The team is struggling and even a cake ordered for his honor on Capitol Hill spelled his name incorrectly.

I mean, REALLY incorrectly.

Cox was being honored for his 50 years in baseball. Senators Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) hosted a ceremony, inviting the Braves’ manager, as well as players and officials. But the cake, which was to read, “Thanks for 50 great years Bobby Cox” had an unfortunate and profane misspelling of his last name.
There's a photo at the link.

And in Hollywood, a former Seinfeld actress got her star on the Walk of Fame, but things didn't quite go as planned:
"Seinfeld" alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus received the 2,407th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.


There was just one problem. Her name was misspelled.
"Julia Luis Dreyfus"
We haven't seen a typo that unfortunate since George Costanza was convinced the Moops invaded Spain in the 8th century.
A little white-out, a little frosting...we can fix it.
