Using the errors of a document that is more than a century (100 years) old to justify a typographical error which was made in this dispensation and time is rather low, don't you think?

First off, the US constitution did not have the luxury of being typed on a computer, as we all know, computers of this age have various Auto-Correct features.
Such should have been employed.

Also, you should have highlighted the following in the text you quoted since you feel the need to justify the mistake.


Only one, though, is a glaringly obvious mistake. In the list of signatories, the word "Pennsylvania" is spelled with a single N: "Pensylvania." This usage conflicts with a prior spelling, at Article 1, Section 2. However, the single N was common usage in the 18th century — the Liberty Bell, for example, has the single N spelling inscribed upon it.

Another mistake, though less obvious, is a common one even today: the word "it's" is used in Article 1, Section 10, but the word "its" should have been used.

The most common mistake, at least to modern eyes, is the word "choose," spelled "chuse" several times. This is less a mistake than it is an alternate spelling used at the time. The word is found in the Constitution as both "chuse" and "chusing."

Finally, at that time, the American spelling of words was inconsistent at best, and several words are spelled in the British manner. These words are "defence," "controul," and "labour." In America, we would today write these words as "defense," "control," and "labor."

Most of the misspellings are in the original document, which was written hastily after the Convention concluded.

From the highlights above, we can deduce that:-
1. The misspellings in the Original document of the US constitutiom was as a result of it's been hastily written just after the convention concluded. The Buhari led FG had more than 4 months to type Thirty-Seven (37) names.

2. At that time, the American spelling of words was inconsistent at best. In this time and dispensation, we have machines that are capable of spelling, writing and talking correctly for us.

3. The misspelled word in the ministerial list was highlighted, it should have been easy to detect.

The above said, I believe that no one is above mistakes and that gaffes are allowed, however such should not repeat itself next time over a simple document of not more than 200 words. It begs the question of competency at high levels.

Even in the U.S constitution, there are errors, let alone Nigerian ministerial list that was hastily typed and submitted. The word "Pennsylvania" is spelled with a single "n", "Pensylvania" in the U.S constitution.

Another mistake, though less obvious, is a common one even today: the word "it's" is used in Article 1, Section 10, but the word "its" should have been used.

Have you done your findings whether it was a mistake on their constitution. I believe Americans are to intelligent not to have discovered such things if it is mistake. On the issue of using ''chuse'' instead of ''choose'', that word usage is very correct. Check your dictionary or better still google it. Chuse is an archaic form of using choose, even america constitution is cited to use the word ''chuse''. So, instead of you citing america constitution to make mistake it is better you find out reason using such words.

It's not Ministerial List "send" to.
The correct word to use there is "sent".

I saw this thread at the back page but I did not bother to open it because of the "send" instead of "sent" mistake.

Stories for the dullard's cows!

If one page document that took four months to produces is termed 'hastily typed', then I wonder what the dullard was doing all this while, and how long it would take to produce a fifty page policy direction! Looks like this extent of this APC scam is yet to fully manifest. Doom is truly coming...
