Un-Corrected Correction

If that makes you say, 'Huh?", it should, just as the inspiration for that did to myself. The online version of the WashPost's recent Page 1 article regarding the recent deal with North Korea "To Prod N. Korea, U.S. Relents in Counterfeiting Case" link heads with a bright red correction:

So if you missed the note at the top, there it is, not "debilitating" but "dilapidating", which of course makes no sense. How about in addition to the notice at the top simply correcting the text and putting a footnote or popup link to the information about the correction? That would probably better reduce further the likelihood of un-necessary reader comments about the mistake long after it had been acknowledged.
