Misspelled at Blue Back Square

In one of those headlines you wish you'd thought of first, the Hartford Courant called them "Red Faced at Blue Back Square" due to a hilarious spelling mistake on a mural.

Blue Back Square is actually named after the "Blue Backed Speller," a book written by West Hartford's most famous resident Noah Webster, the author of the first American dictionary. However, despite being named for an acclaimed speller, a mural in the square is marred by a spelling mistake.

The word "cemetery" is spelled with an "ary" on the mural that depicts the town's Old Center Cemetery.

"There is some irony there," Mayor Scott Slifka told the Courant, "We all had a good laugh about it. Now we see why Webster needed to publish his book."
