A Virginia fifth grader has made headlines for spotting an error in his science textbook.

The publisher reportedly sent a handwritten letter thanking the fifth grader for catching the error.
EMILYS EVERYWHERE
Does it seem like everything you watch at the moment features an Emily, from the popular Netflix series Emily in Paris to the film Emily the Criminal? Now a New York Times article has examined the name's popularity and why it's so common right now.

Apparently people started naming their kids Emily as an alternative to other popular names like Jennifer and Michelle.
