# Filled Blog-Correction Record

Original fictional teaching content. All counts, dates, passages and the proposed correction below are invented. No actual website, inventory or publisher correction was observed or performed.

## Completed teaching record

- Example article: imaginary sticker-storage guide.
- Fictional original date: 2026-10-02 (October 2, 2026).
- Fictional correction date: 2026-10-04 (October 4, 2026).
- Affected passage: the total-count sentence following the pocket list.
- Original statement: The three pockets hold 16 sticker sheets in total.
- Supported replacement within the example: The three pockets hold 15 sticker sheets in total.

| Pocket | Supplied count | Source status |
|---|---|---|
| Plants | 4 sticker sheets | Original fictional teaching input |
| Space | 6 sticker sheets | Original fictional teaching input |
| Undecided | 5 sticker sheets | Original fictional teaching input |

Calculation: 4 + 6 + 5 = 15 sticker sheets. The erroneous stated total was 16, not a different supplied pocket count.

Correction scope: replace the total-count sentence only and add the proposed reader-facing note. Individual pocket counts, names and imagined storage instructions stay unchanged. The fictional original date remains 2026-10-02.

Proposed reader-facing note:

Correction (fictional example, October 4, 2026): The original example stated that the three pockets held 16 sticker sheets. The correct total is 15 sticker sheets. The individual pocket counts are unchanged.

Status: teaching proposal only; not applied to a website.
