Last week, a tipster sent us the DOB’s mispelled ad, calling for “archetects” to join their team. Well, turns out, they’re not the bad spellers. Per our source at DOB: ” I’m told the Department contacted the ad agency this morning to ask why the ad in the paper is different from the ad submitted to it. According to the ad agency, Brooklyn Papers made unauthorized changes to the job posting ad — they misspelled ‘architects,’ among other formatting modifications.” Not sure it will make you feel better to know that the Paper’s spell check ain’t working, either.
Update (the final one, we swear): The Brooklyn Paper says they got camera ready art and printed it as it came.
Update (the last one, really): Turns out The Brooklyn Paper did reset the ad and regrets the error. Time to move on!
