The most ironic thing about the column, which is about getting basics
like names right, is that the Jaimie Epstein's name is misspelled in
the byline and on the page header as "Jaimie Esptein." It's right in
the bio line, however.
Double your irony intake: she says she is "a sometime editor of this
column."
