We Often Feature Bad Spelling,

or poor positioning of articles in newspapers and magazines,


as I am a hopeless speller to say the least, but we never expected a whole new country to be found, especially by such a publication of high regard as the New York Times, but it did, last week, a New York Times article described Kyrgyzstan, a real nation in central Asia, but it was misspelled as "Kyrzbekistan." the editors eventually corrected the error, but not before the people of the internet had run wild, describing the history, geography, and politics of it, you can find some basic facts about the landlocked nation here, note to self re-read everything I type!
