Department of Corrections (New York Times Edition)

Spot the mistake the New York Times makes here. Unfortunate but amusing.

This produced, as it would, a fine correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to the new Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny as a female. Enda Kenny is a male.

As I suspected this was New York’s fault, not Sarah Lyall’s as a sub-editor changed Mr to Ms. These things happen. A Telegraph sub once inserted “Kenyan-born” into a piece I wrote about Barack Obama’s presidential then-fledgling presidential campaign. This was before the Birther movement had got going but, of course, made the whole piece a nonsense since if Obama had been born in Kenya he would not have been running for President.
