philospher

--"Bush, Arnie top English gobbledegook poll" on Yahoo! Canada News on September 9, 2009

I can't see the error. Can you see it? Oh, there it is: philospher is missing an O after the S. It's ironic that the nonword appears in an article about mangled English. Also, can someone please confirm whether or not there should be a hyphen between cum and (what should be) philosopher. As for the meat of the article, George W. Bush's winning entry is fantastic: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
