Thanks to the efforts of our reader Nina De-Zan, the saga of Milan’s mystery pawn continues. In our September issue we wrote about the confusion between “pedestrian” and “pawn,” a chess piece (click here). Now someone has decided to correct the mistake, but only partially. “Pawn” has become “walker” (click here to enlarge the image).

If you see English mistakes (in Italy, the UK, anywhere!) that make you scream “Aarrgghh!!!” take a photo (please make sure
it’s in focus!) and send it to redazione@speakupmagazine.it. We will publish the best (that is, the worst) both here and on our Facebook page.
