Nothing like finding a typo in a certification that has gone out on every survey for the past five years. Unadjusted was spelled unadusted and my brain has been mentally glossing over it for five years at least. What a way to cap off a long aggravating Monday
Tomorrow will be better.....right?
Maybe you wouldn't have this problem if you ran more adjustments!

I could probably goof that up also, but in this case our standards of practice require a note giving the ratio of precision of the unadjusted survey so I'm stuck with it for the foreseeable future.
Our Oklahoma Board requires professional firms to maintain a "CA" (Certificate of Authorization) number. For what I don't know except an additional $200 a year to stay current.
Anyway, a few months ago I realized our standard easement exhibit has had the wrong CA number on it for about the last four years. That would equate to thousands of filed documents...
Oh well, sh*t happens...
Don't feel bad, it happens to all of us. Back in the old days when we used something called a facimile machine I had "professional" spelled as "profesional" on all my fax forms. Caught the mistake about a year later... sigh
How about, "I Herby Certify..." Herby just kept showing up to ruin a certification.

Good thing you aren't in law enforcement like the guy who made reference to the "penile code".

Don't you mean the unadusted survey?

Well, the good news is that most people read words based upon the first and last parts of the word and so wouldn't miss the "j" somewhere in between. A really excellent way to catch typos, misspellings, lapses in grammar, and faulty sentence construction is to just email the documents to a client. You'll find that immediately after pressing the "SEND" button, they will be easily seen.

Boy, isn't that the truth! I tend to see errors on maps when I plot them to mylar and they are coming out of the printer...

More than likely, Tomorrow will be Tomato
I was looking earlier today at a job from about 10 years ago. Both the northwest corner and the northeast corner of the section were both labeled "northwest". The northeast corner could have been the northwest corner of the next section to the east, but the section number was the same, so....................................................
We had a big presentation for a controversial subdivision once, a bunch of the public was going to be there, printed up 17 sets for the planning board, bring a set for us to put on the easel, get to the meeting, pull out the set for presentation and there in three inch letters, right on the cover sheet is "NICHOLE ESATES SUBDIVISION".
