You say statistics, I say stastistics

CMAJ 2001;164(9):1280 [PDF]

I may be an old fussbudget, but the advertisement for the editorial fellowship on page 1148 of the Nov. 28, 2000, issue of CMAJ would have had more impact if "statistics" had been spelled correctly — especially as the 1998 Fellow said in the ad that she had learned about copyediting during her year with the journal. Having recently moved to Australia I enjoy reading CMAJ, but I could not resist a wee note to keep the copyediting division up to speed.
