Wow. That makes even my worst correction (which involved mistaken identity) very, very lame by comparison. I'm finding it hard to believe this was an accident, though. Again, wow.

The head of the company that made the plaque said on the news that his "employees don't understand English and don't have a grasp of history." Some excuse!
