When you search and replace and don’t proof read and your job is fixing Trivial Pursuit cards…

Comradebat over on Reddit has spotted this great fuck up: ‘Trivial Pursuit changes “km” to “kilometre” using find & replace command. Nailed it.’

“Apparently they did the same for kg -> kilogram” notes idarin:

  • “Well that’s just poor workilometersanship”, writes din7
  • “I proofread some British textbooks being adapted for the Middle East. ‘Kate’ and ‘Mark’ were changed throughout to ‘Kareem’ and ‘Munir’ using find and replace, which led to kids on ‘skareemboards’ and trips to the ‘supermuniret'”, writes ummpop
  • “The Sunday School curriculum my church uses, once did something like this. The Youth and Adult books are nearly identical, except for for where it said “Youth” in the headers or footers. Someone simply Find & Replaced all the “Adults” with “Youth” for the youth version. This resulted in: > Exodus 20:14, Thou shalt not commit youthery”, notes Happy_Harry
