I'd like to point out that the error was noted by one of the Post's readers in the comments section. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/30/AR2008053002330_Comments.html I'd really like to point that out.

As an aside, is referring to someone as Kim when their name is actually Yim actually a misspelling? Isn't it more like racism?

that's awesome. sounds like spell check needs an extra-vigilant, prepubescent setting for the time of the year when stories about the national spelling be comes around.
