Hallowed versus Heathen

UPDATE: The NY Post corrected the error.

This past week, the NY Post had an article about a Jeopardy game show question aired on June 13th in which the three contestants failed to come up with a seemingly easy answer.

The clue that had all three contestants stumped: “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father Which Art in Heaven’ this ‘be thy name.'”

“That’s ‘hallowed,’ you heathens!” “Jeopardy!” fan Lindsay Wilcox live-tweeted during the show.

Today, the NY Post again has an article about a Jeopardy show in which the three contestants performed poorly on June 7th. At the end of the article, the journalist makes mention of the June 13th episode.

In the June 13 episode, no contestant was able to figure out the clue “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father Which Art in Heaven’ this ‘be thy name,’” with Heathen being the correct word.

HEATHEN - a person who is not religious or whose religion is not Judaism, Islam, or especially Christianity

Who is editing the NY Post? Hope "Heathen" will be replaced by "Hallowed" forthwith.

Some of the comments left under the article include:

Apparently NYP doesn't know the answer, either.

"Hallowed" is the correct word. I bet that heathen's word was intentional.



Clearly, the writer was one of the contestants
