Spock is a character from Star Trek whose most famous quote is probably “Live long and prosper”.
(“It’s life, Jim, but not as we know it” is a quote that has been erroneously attributed to Spock over the years, but is actually taken from a 1987 song by The Firm.)
So, who is to blame for this travesty?

“They are noted and immediately corrected in reprints.”
