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

A colleague of mine thought she’d signed off an email to the CEO “regards Sharon”. She only realised after she’d sent it that she’d written ‘retards shaton’. g/t and t/r are really too close on the keyboard

My favourite thing about receiving these texts from nursery was the fact they swiftly followed up to clarify the ‘cake’ error...

I once left a lesson plan and routine for a supply teacher reading “give children a light smack after break time” instead of “light snack” - I was mortified 😂

I just remembered one from a draft of a scientific journal article that I saw -fortunately typos were corrected before publication.

This is not a typo but I was on the phone to an airline once and had to read out a reference number - trying to be clever and use the nato alphabet I attempted Y for Yankee but managed to say Y for Wanky. Twice. Colleague next to me was heaving with laughter which didn't help
