When Proofreading Goes Wrong: LEGO’s Enterprise Sticker Drama
In a plot twist worthy of a Star Trek episode, LEGO has found itself in the midst of a comical spelling mishap with its Star Trek Enterprise set. What started as an embarrassing ‘boldy’ typo has turned into an unexpected comedy of errors.
The Original Blunder
Fans of both LEGO and Star Trek were quick to spot the original spelling mistake – ‘boldy’ instead of ‘boldly’ – on the set’s stickers. This grammatical gaffe quickly became a topic of online humor and discussion.
The Correction… Sort Of
In an attempt to remedy the situation, LEGO began sending out replacement stickers. However, in a twist of ironic fate, the replacement stickers reportedly introduced yet another spelling error. Talk about a proofreading paradox!
Why This Matters
- Demonstrates the importance of careful editing
- Provides entertainment for eagle-eyed fans
- Shows LEGO’s commitment to customer satisfaction
While these mistakes might seem minor, they highlight the intricate process of creating collector’s edition sets and the human element behind even the most meticulously designed products.
