Oh my, it was irresponsible for the proofreader to miss that the last "i" was left out of the word "responsibility" for Australia's $50 note! So instead "responsibilty" was printed on 46 million notes not just once but multiple times on the bill. Ironically, it took almost 5 months for the error to be discovered as it was in microprint on the bill and required magnification aid to be discovered. I suppose maybe the proofreader could be forgiven after all?
