Someone over at Huffington Post needs a brush-up lesson on geography.

In an article on Bill Murray and Emma Stone’s surprise visit to a Hawaii military base, the Huffington Post wrongly called Hawaii — one of the 50 United States — an “independent country.”

Jim Romenesko posted the correction, which he said reader Daniel Durchholz spotted.

The correction, posted at the bottom of the article, reads:

“CORRECTION: A previous version of this article referred incorrectly to Hawaii as an independent country.”
