Past or Passed The Navy Spelling Controversy
A Printer's dispute over whether to use passed or past in naval ranks triggers government action. Public Printer Stllings and the Navy Bureau of Navigation clash over an order to drop the word past in favor of passed while officials scramble to correct typos and protect rank titles. The matter centers on two temporary appointments as past assistant surgeons and past assistant engineers, later reverted to passed assistant surgeons.
