Post Spelling error in torchbearer's Olympic tattoo
Quote:
A woman who got a new tattoo to celebrate her role in the Olympic torch relay was shocked to discover it had been spelt incorrectly.

Jerri Peterson, from Atlanta, US, carried the torch through Derby on 30 June after being nominated by the hotel chain she worked for.

When she arrived back in the US, she decided to spend $10 on a tattoo to mark the occasion.

The Olive Oyl-impics.

Classic.

(Leaving aside the whole "why are you being parachuted in to carry the torch, what did you do that makes you special, and who the f*ck are you anyway" thing, as that's happened so much during the relay anyway.)

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
