How to Annoy a Prospective Grad Advisor

Try this out: while sending out a mass e-mail to get a feel for who is accepting grad students and who isn't accidentally forget to change the name at the top of two going to the professor with rather famous research. If he has his own agent, is a national geographic explorer and his is a houshold name in your field, or if he has recently published a paper in Nature that you'd like to base much of your research on and you get it completely wrong, it tells him that you're clearly not paying attention when it comes to such important matters as Grad School Applications.
Dr. s Sereno and Erickson, if you read this; I'm sorry.
