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

I am crying too, had the shittest day and this has cheered me up.

According to my auto correct I am a Teacher of the Dead!

Sounds like Friday afternoon Year 11 double Maths!

An office wide email requesting poof reading help.

#susanalbumparty Susan Boyle’s album launch. Apparently

Years ago OH got a phone call from his Headteacher whose daughter was in his class, Is 'impotent' supposed to be on the weekend spelling list? Back in the days of one finger typing followed by the Gestaetner copy, ask your granny!

I sent an email about the application learning curse (instead of curve) to the training department... which was hilarious as we all hated it

his young son getting out of hospital. ‘hope he does’ autocorrected to ‘hope he dies’

Der Spiegel, a German magazine, put a photo of The Queen on its cover at the time of her Jubilee and used a mixture of German and English, so it read Die Queen!

Many pieces aren’t proofread before going online now, particularly in local newspapers, because there simply isn’t the money to pay for them. It’s a deliberate cost-saving that was implemented by many papers about ten years ago when it became clear that most readers didn’t actually care that much about a few errors, or at least not enough to cover the £25k per year cost of a sub-editor.

If you want higher standards, you’d going to have to be willing to pay for your news. Give you read that article for free, you’re gonna have to suck up some mistakes.

As for it being deliberate, I can 100 per cent ensure you it’s not. There’s not a journalist in this country who’d deliberately use the phrase ‘blacklash’ right this second, particularly in an innocuous story about Ofcom complaints. You’d be risking your job and, believe it or not, the vast majority of journalists in this country aren’t racist bigots.

And also, sorry about my typos

In my A-Level law essay we were discussing the influence of religion and morality on law. I wrote
“Mortality is heavily rooted in religion”.

My teacher didn’t necessarily disagree but said it probably wasn’t an appropriate comment given we were a religious school.

'Not a typo, but during a visit to the local diy store, I was trying to find what I needed, a chap asked if he could help me, my response ... ‘I need a screw..’

Quite a few rumbles of laughter ...'

Years ago, my mum was helping me to rearrange some furniture in my student accommodation; and among other things, unscrewing some shelves and then putting them back in a different place. I thanked her. She pointed out that I'd done much of the work myself. I replied without thinking, 'Yes, but you did all the screwing!'

A very serious letter from council head of education to all parents. The email informed of us sudden school closure due to pandemic. The began with: Dead parents, instead of dear parents. Oops.

If you like a typo, pop on a rolling live news channel and put the subtitles on.

You're welcome!

Mine: many years ago when I was a student, I started a part time job as an A&E receptionist. One of the first people I booked in had and infected finger.
I put it in to the system as "pussy finger"

It was there for hours for all to see. The whole department found it hilarious, and last week, 14ish years later, a friend I met at that job brought it up again

Got a quote once for a new hard dick drive for my PC.

Been crying laughter at this!

I have sent emails saying I'm busty far too many times and I am fairly which doesn't help

My local paper had the well known Christmas movie Chitty Chitty Gang Bang on the TV listings many years ago.

Der Spiegel, a German magazine, put a photo of The Queen on its cover at the time of her Jubilee and used a mixture of German and English, so it read Die Queen!

Colleague called Cynthia once signed off an extremely serious and professional email

😂😂😂😂

I have some work to my boss (print out) and he later left it on my desk with ‘Crap’ written on it in real ink. I marched over to his desk and said ‘well if you didn’t like it - you could at least say what’s wrong’.

He’d actually just written his name (‘Craig’ - it just looked like ‘Crap’) as his way of ‘approving’ the work (which made about as much sense as ‘crap’ actually).

We had a memo from school asking us to ensure the children brought their willies on the farm trip.

We had worse - newsletter asked for children's willies to be clearly labelled so the owner can be identified from a brief look!

I don't think that Mirror one is a typo though. It sounds like a typical tabloid pun to me - confusing humour with tasteless offensiveness.

My colleague once wrote “bed and breastfed” instead of bed and breakfast in an email trying to get raffle prizes for a charity do 🤣

Iloveblue ha ha, nopetoure off the hook

Lifeisabeach I don't think it was deliberate. The amount of typos I've seen on news sites this week alone is shocking. Nearly every article I've read has had at least one typo in.
