596th Ordinance Ammunition Company
The unit name is misspelled. The U.S. Army unit was the 596th Ordnance Ammunition Company, not “Ordinance.”
Full reasoning
This is an error in the military unit’s proper name. U.S. Army records list the unit as the 596th Ordnance Ammunition Company. “Ordnance” is the Army branch term for weapons and ammunition; “ordinance” is a different word meaning a law or regulation.
A War Department general orders document from 1945 includes the exact unit name "596th Ordnance Ammunition Company," which contradicts the article’s wording.

... 596th Ordnance Ammunition Company.
QuoromEx
The company name is misspelled here. McAfee’s biotech startup was called QuorumEx, not “QuoromEx.”
Full reasoning
This heading uses the wrong spelling of the company’s name. A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing describing John McAfee’s background lists the company as QuorumEx.
Because this is a proper noun, the exact spelling matters: the authoritative filing contradicts the article’s "QuoromEx" spelling.
