Title text: The biggest I've seen in a published source in the wild is an 80-fold error in a reported distance, which I think came from a series of at least three unit conversions and area/length misinterpretations.

And he hasn't even gotten into the potential confusion of things like "twice as big".

Thanks for my daily chuckle.
Is biweekly approximately the same duration as bimonthly?
