— that's Mr. Bernanke and his closest friends, of course — they held interest rates steady at 5.25 percent. But as is usually the case of late, everybody was more interested in what Bernanke,had to say rather than what they actually did~~The Federal Open Market Committee

2:56 UTC July 21, 1969, when Neil Armstrong MIS-stated the the line "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." as he planted his left boot on the surface of the moon. The problem was he left out the [A] and that changed the meaning of his statment! rendering the phrase a tautology, as man in such use is synonymous with mankind. Armstrong is quoted as saying that he "would hope that history would grant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand that it was certainly intended, even if it wasn't said – although it might actually have been."

It has since been claimed that acoustic analysis of the recording reveals the presence of the missing "a". A digital audio analysis conducted by Peter Shann Ford, an Australia-based computer programmer, claims that Armstrong did, in fact, say "a man", but the "a" was inaudible due to the limitations of communications technology of the time. Ford and James R. Hansen, Armstrong's authorized biographer, presented these findings to Armstrong and NASA representatives, who conducted their own analysis. The article by Ford, however, is published on Ford's own web site rather than in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and linguists David Beaver and Mark Liberman at Language Log were skeptical of Ford's claims. Armstrong has expressed his preference that written quotations include the "a" in parentheses.
