Who Knew?

From today’s New York Times corrections section:

The Side Effects column in Science Times on Tuesday, about the gradual disappearance of the wooden fishing boats called dories from the Grand Banks of the North Atlantic, described the geography of Nova Scotia incorrectly. It is a peninsula, not an island.

If a Canadian newspaper described Florida as a Caribbean island, we’d wonder, I suppose, whether they have editors.
