Walking talking spell check

While visiting the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum earlier this month, Elysha found a typo on a plaque.

Goldilocks planets orbit their stars at just the right distance – not too hot and not too cold.

Except the plaque reads:

“not to too hot and not to cold”

Elysha alerted a docent about the error, who at least pretended that he was hearing about this error for the first time.

One day later, while touring the FBI Academy at Quantico, she found another typo on another plaque. We could not take a photo of that error because photography was not allowed, and we value our freedom from a federal detention facility.

Two mistakes spotted in two days.

My wife clearly strikes fear in the hearts of plaque makers everywhere.
