Most unfortunate typo ever?...

[GetTheDoorFrank]

Read this article on the mirror and instantly noticed right away the glaringly obvious error in wording 🙈 surely it wasnt intentional and dont things get proof read any more? Its imo worse because of the article content

dont things get proof read any more?

Online media has tight turnarounds and tight budgets, so mostly not.

Onewish05, second paragraph 'Blacklash' instead of 'Backlash.' Totally deliberate, IMO.

Have mercy on a dyslexic who couldn't proof read if her life depended on it, and tell me which word was wrong. Please!

@Lifeisabeach09 thank you!

My brain did not detect that at all...

Not my mistake, but the worst typo I’ve seen was “the rapists” instead of “therapists”.

@Holdingtherope

What is it? Am I blind?

Start of 2nd paragraph

I’m a teacher . Auto correct changed a pupil’s name to Satan - luckily I noticed !

I did "kind retards" once by accident, spell check didn't pick it up!

Cringing so bad at this. Would it be deliberate?

Howling at some of your stories btw 😂😂😂

I quite like the word and it would have its uses though, just not as in that context! e.g. 'The statue of Colston experienced a popular blacklash'

@StuntCroissant

A colleague of mine once told me about the time he signed-off an email to a very short client (who was very touchy about it)

"see you shorty".

howling at that!

Not a typo but similar. I work in a bank. I recently started asking a customer “do you know your account number.?” But got confused and said “do you know your name?” everyone heard. And I’m new.

Sent an email to someone earlier letting them know that one of my clients had gone on “indefinite dick leave”.

Beloved Aunt is fantastic!

Friend went to a restaurant and when I asked what they thought they replied " So good, we were kicking the slaves!" - was supposed to say licking the plates!!

Noticed this a while ago

Thanks for the clarification Lifeisabeach09.

It's exactly the kind of mistake I might make without ever realising unless someone pointed it out. Especially if I was writing a sentence that contained the word black.

Also read on the front cover of a magazine recently “XXX is standing up for YYY” - XXX is a know wheelchair user

We got told we'd be required to do a12 hour shit one Saturday a month!

I sent out party invitations saying bring willies ( ment wellies) as it would be muddy.

I read that 3 times and still didn’t see it
Funny how your eyes deceive you

Oooooft. I took a sharp breath when I saw it

When I sent a message to a colleague re his young son getting out of hospital. ‘hope he does’ autocorrected to ‘hope he dies’ luckily I spotted it before sending.

I don’t think they do proofread as I saw an article during lock down where the journalist had used to words ‘flaunting the rules’ both in the headline and the text. No one had spotted this and it irrationally irritates me still!

Very nearly uploaded "sports cancelled due to unplayable bitches" on the school newsflash page!

Quite possibly my most favourite ever thread
