Yes, dear

Possibly the funniest correction in all history was made by the Friday New York Times:

An Op-Ed article on July 17, about a new birth control pill that suppresses periods, incorrectly described premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It refers to severe irritability, tension and depression before periods, not to debilitating periods.

Only fools tread.

The Times tends to have weird corrections because they don't want to repeat the mistake, so it's hard to understand sometimes just what they're referring to.

Just remember the "pre" in "premenstrual"
