NY Times Corrects World Cup Error

The New York Times issued the above correction to an article covering Germany’s World Cup win over Portugal.

It’s a pretty bad mistake, but to be fair, 1990 does seem like it was about 924 years ago. The year’s biggest music hits were Madonna’s Vogue, Sinead O’Connor’s Nothing Compares 2 U, Roxette’s It Must Have Been Love and Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This. This, incidentally, makes us wonder: Why the sudden affinity for replacing “you” with “u?” Did Sinead and Hammer collaborate on that?
