I cogitate we ’d take a break from themost dangerousandworst - payingtype chore mail service and delve into something that has follow me around my office career like the boogieman on an unlit street in the dark of winter ( okay , a little poetical hyperbole folks , but still " ¦ ): the fearsome typographical error . I ca n’t order you how many multiplication I ’ve proofed and re - proofed memos , letters and electronic mail to my gamey - ups trying to smoke out atherefor atheir , or ayourfor ayou’re , awherefor awear , afourfor , um , afor .
Interestingly , have you ever noticed how communiquà © s from superiors , on the other paw , especially President and senior vice - presidents , show no mansion of proofing ? Like typos do n’t matter when the memo is being send down from above ? What ’s with that ? Why the double - standards ? They expect you to be on your typewriting game , but they ’re costless to typewrite with their feet if they want .
Anyone want to comment about that funny ( not ) fact ?
In other typo news , did anyone trance the humorous NASA misprint a pair month ago when the shuttle Endeavour ( make after HM Bark Endeavour , the ship commanded by 18th C Internet Explorer James Cook , if you ’re wondering why the British spelling ) was roll out with a banner that read " Go Endeavor!“ ? Okay , an comfortable typographical error because it ’s not the way we are used to spell the word . NASA ’s polarity - dept . rapidly hightail it out with a reissue variation , as you see in the photos .
Here ’s a picture I have with my cellphone sound today at this yummy Amerindic joint up on Melrose . Looks like someone necessitate to purchase a vowel sound , double ! What ’s the funniest typo you ’ve ever scene?[BTW : how many typos can you find in this C. W. Post ? There are several , if you was pay attention . ]
