Typos
happen.
That
is
just
a
fact
of
our
increasingly
digital
life.
We
write
so
much
—
on
social
media,
emails,
texts
—
that
not
everything
gets
the
intense
scrutiny
of,
say,
a
filed
brief,
and
yes,
mistakes
get
made.
There’s
not
much
you
can
do
except
own
up
to
it
and
move
on.
One
Biglaw
partner,
Holland
&
Knight’s
Christopher
Nolan,
showed
a
good
deal
of
humor
when
he
made
an
oopsie.
He
recently
posted
this
on
LinkedIn:
Did
you
catch
the
mistake?
Or
is
your
brain
so
conditioned
by
Biglaw
it
switched
assassins
to
associates?
And,
because
it’s
the
internet,
Nolan
was
called
out
on
his
error,
with
responses
to
his
post
noting,
“I
presume
you
mean
‘associates,’
not
‘assassins.’”
And
Nolan
responded,
“Get
to
know
us
better
—
your
assumption
is
not
correct!”
And
he
continued
the
bit.
When
a
colleague
coyly
noted
the
mistake:
Nolan
responded:
Now,
Nolan
has
since
edited
the
post,
but
not
before
it
was
documented
by
the
good
folks
at
RollOnFriday.
But
what
a
pleasant
reaction
to
an
honest
mistake
(well,
we
assume
it
was
an
error,
not
a
confession).
