Looks like typo fever has taken hold of the city. First a subway mosaic with a 72-year-old error was spotted, setting spellcheckers into a frenzy, and now the NY Post points out an 82-year-old error carved into stone on the Manhattan Supreme Courthouse.
The paper reports: "In a stunning slap at the Father of our Country, stone carvers got George Washington's words wrong on the landmark." The quote reads: "The true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government," but good 'ol George actually said the "due administration." The misquote has been picked up as such by many, the Law & Order crew included (it's on their website)—and even longtime employees weren't aware of the typo until now.
A spokesman for the Department of Citywide Administrative Services has quickly pinned the blame on the late Boston architect—and Harvard grad, no less—Guy Lowell, who designed the building. Meanwhile, James Rees (the executive director of Washington's estate) is calling for the typo to be fixed, noting that George was a "real stickler for detail."

looks to me like the work of one jen chung
Don't be ridiculous. It's the MTA's fault .
When all else fails, blame someone from Boston, especially if they went to Harvard.
quote FAIL
And what is George's take on this whole thing? Change it or leave it the way it is?
Probably leave it as it is. If it was someone like Patterson, he would probably change it and rename it after a dead Kennedy, to boot.
And he did cut down the fucking cherry tree...so what?
Easy for you to say, but do you realize how many cherries died because of his senseless act? The guy was a toothless, wig wearing individual that married a bitch for her cash and never had any children of his own. I'm glad he wasn't my father. He looks like an aged Mona Lisa as a cross dresser who doesn't have a sense of humor. Just look at his image on the dollar bill and tell me if this guy was an honest politician.
