A typo in Library Typo??


"library typo of the day" - calender

 except that is a correct spelling in papermaking

http://www.answers.com/calender&r=67

calender: n. - A machine that smoothes or glazes paper or cloth by pressing it between plates or passing it through rollers v. - Press between rollers or plates so as to smooth, glaze, or thin into sheets.

 

I added a comment first thing this morning, but it has not been posted yet.  Hopefully no one went in and changed all the paper or cloth related calendering references to calendaring.

 

NEW:

an addition at 2:30 -- I am now an astute reader :)

Not really, I just work in a library where we have materials on calendering of paper.
