True story
When a duck turns naughtyI once worked for a publishing company which produced an 'Eating Out' guide for a county in the UK (I didn't work on the publication).
One year, to save money, a junior was left to proof read the entries. One Chinese restaurant listed its specialty as Aromatic Crispy Duck, only the 'D' was entered as an 'F' and it got through the 'cheap' proof and entered circulation. The company was lucky not to get sued, it certainly didn't get paid and had to reprint the guide.
The moral of this story is, do not scrimp on editing and proofing.
