Oops! Fluid Correction!

The Aug, 22, 2014 edition of "Mr. Smarty Pants Knows" stated that Michael Nesmith's mother invented Wite-Out when in fact she invented Liquid Paper. George Kloosterhouse is credited with inventing Wite-Out in 1966 with the help of Edwin Johanknecht. Bette Nesmith Graham invented Liquid Paper in 1956. Mr. Smarty Pants apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused and wishes he could use either product to correct all printed versions of the erroneous fact.
