Grammar Matters

Slate.com reviews Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. While the review is tepid at best, it does confirm that the final book of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is being split into two movies.

Thus, the current movie is the sixth in a series of eight movies, leading to this editorial note:

Correction, July 15, 2009: The sentence originally misidentified this movie as the ante-antepenultimate movie in the Harry Potter series. It is the antepenultimate movie.

Now, how often do you see that level of perfectionism in a correction? Or ever?

Grammar geeks for the win!
