Funniest typo you've ever made?
A few minutes ago, I typed "This puzzles me" in a post, and when I look at it again, I realize I wrote "Thus pizzles me"! :crazy:

4. I once typed Pubic School System, instead of Public School system on a
report. Boy that was a little embarassing.

18. One of my students had a Powerpoint presentation on "Pubic Consultation"
Luckily I happened to walk into the room when she was rehearsing before class, and noticed it before everybody else arrived!

5. I once had a job writing press releases...
and I typed pubic where it should have said public. Some were sent out before I caught the mistake. Boss laughed it off though.

7. Ages ago, I Did a Newsletter for the United Way
and in describing some celebration wrote "Teat" instead of "Treat". I think I was suspected of doing it on purpose, and was asked to retype the entire thing (it was before PCs were common).

11. Tit steering wheel
Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 03:32 PM by bif
Instead of Tilt steering wheel (For a car catalog). Caught that before it went to the client.

On Edit: Actually I think it may have been Leather-wrapped tit steering wheel. Even more comfortable to hold!

13. maybe the time
Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 03:26 PM by JimWar
I worked as a restaurant manager and wrote the specials board dessert of the day as "Cococunt Cream Pie". The waitstaff gathered with snickering eye-rolling alerted me to the honest but embarrassing typo.

mispelled dessert haha

16. I Had Typed A Syllabus For A Computer Class I Was Teaching...
and didn't notice (until some of the students started suppressing laughter) that I one of the bulleted topics was "hard dick drive maintenance".

Obviously, I must have been thinking of something else at the time.

17. Poster/flyer was supposed to say "$100 for the Best Skit" and . . . .
it came out "Shit". I got all sorts of calls, asking for criteria to win.

19. I didn't make this typo; I saw it on a low-budget James Brown CD.
They left a letter out of the song title, "It's Too Funky In Here." Consequently, it read, "It's Too Funky In Her."

I almost bought the damned thing just for that error!:7

20. "Thanks for noting"
is how I sometimes sign off on emails. While an "h" has never crept into the word "noting," people have misread the word to be "nothing" :-)
