Nassau Kneads Spell Czech

The United States space agency Nassau NASA kneads needs a gud good spell czech check program. Boy are they embarrassed right now. They rolled the space shuttle Endeavour out to the launch pad and sent it on its way with a nice banner. The banner said: "Go Endeavor". Whoopsie.

The spacecraft arrived at the its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, and officials welcomed it with a banner reading "Go Endeavor."

The shuttle's name, however, is spelled the British way, with a "u." It's named after the first ship commanded by 18th century British explorer James Cook.

The banner was up for about 90 minutes before being replaced by one with the correct spelling, but with photographers on hand for the arrival of the shuttle, cameras captured the mistake.

(I just think its amusing, by the way. It is exceedingly easy to make minor spelling errors - and spell check actually makes it worse sometimes. For example, I used to work at ComEd. Microsoft Word spell check did not recognize that and would always helpfully offer to insert its best guess as to the correct word: commode. That caught a few people. My blog spell checker recommends 'comedy' instead, by the way.)
