This morning on the way in to work, I heard a brief segment on NPR about a painting that a municipality paid for and had to then cough up another $6,000 to pay the painter to fix. Was the painting something obscene–like David with a boner and the city wanted a fig leaf? No. The painting depicts famous people and lists their names. The painter misspelled something like 12 names of famous people. Not just any famous people but people that changed the world–like Einstein. People we’re all supposed to know and readily identify.
Correct me if I’m completely out in left field on this, but if I deliver misspelled words to the client, I fix them. I don’t charge another $6,000 because I was an idiot.
