Words don't lie, part II: Perception Analyzer reveals no Jack Kennedys at vice presidential debate (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Doug_Harris]

A NYT op-ed piece by Charles M. Blow (10/3) was footnoted:

Correction: October 4, 2008

An earlier version of this column misspelled an ethnic term for Muslims in
Bosnia and Herzegovina, and incorrectly claimed that Senator Joseph R. Biden
Jr. had made a mistake in using it. The correct spelling is Bosniak, not
Bosniac, and Mr. Biden's usage was correct.

Bill M wondered:

So what did the Perception Analyzer do when Biden referred to residents
of Bosnia as "Bosniacs"?
