> Metaballs, not to be confused with meatballs

I once reviewed an academic paper at a major CS conference that misspelled metaballs as meatballs throughout.



After years of living in the US, I still have trouble that the word is "cockpit" not "cocktip". That became hilariously obvious when at work we had to use a library that uses the term "cockpit" for one of its main components.


A nice example of the the impotence of proofreading![1]

And the importance (oh...I see what you did there...well played)


You think that was a mistake?
