The following item is from the "Business Bulletin" column of today's
Wall Street Journal:
"The Grinch That Stole Christmas must have tinkered with a Marshall Field's
press release. The Chicago retailer had to rectify an announcement that it
will serve hot chocolate to 'tiresome' instead of 'tired' shoppers. Marshall
Field's blamed a spell-checking software for the glitch."
