    Where's the Typo Guy wen you need him.

    Just a few days ago MSNBCnews.com ran a little story that featured an excerpt from Typo Guy's book-that's not really his name or anything, but it's something like that-and since his mission is to go around America fixing typos on signs and such, here's a perfect opportunity.

    Of course Jeff Foxworthy would have a field day with this as well. Ribit

    This type of incompetence is pervasive in our society....and we wonder why we are sinking in the mud???

    It is very easy to find articles on msn.com that obviously have been casually composed and not proofread.

      Asphalt spell-check?

      Okay. I will own up to a pretty emphatic typo of my own. I misspelled my son's name on his First birthday cake. My husband, being the wise and sypathetic soul that he is, didn't tell me until much later. I would have thrown the cake out of the window if he had told me right away.

      I just did the same thing with a coworker's cake last week. "Happy Birtday!"

      Errors happen, people. It's not the end of the world, and it's not always indicative of greater problems.

      In this case, it's just wonderfully ironic. :)

      Well considering that the keys "G" and "T" are very close on the keyboard, I will never end a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

      Iola3, I am wondering - what your husband's "soul" would be like - if you also have also left out the "s" and "y" besides the "m" :)

                  Think on the bright side, it's more noticeable now! Maybe driver's will pay more attention Do you think they did it on purpose.

                    It's not the same thing as being in a rush and spelling someones name wrong on a cake.  It sadly shows how so many people in this country don't care about how good a job they do.  Replace the person who doesn't take the time to spell school right and replace him (her) w/ one of the millions of unemployed who would love to have the opportunity.

                        Nah, this is what "School" sounds like when you say it without any teeth.

                        Or if you've had a few too many beers during lunch...which may have been the case with this particular road crew.

                          Years ago, I spelled my husband's name incorrectly on his resume. To compound the insult, I transposed two digits of his phone number. He wondered why he did not get any calls. Finally, he received a letter from a prospective employer, addressed to his incorrect name. He got the job, but I never heard the end of it. I was, after all, an Editor at a publishing company.

                            Who's surprised? Just look at the comments posted on, say immigration news articles by agitated semi-literates. They probably wouldn't even recognize these transposed letters.

                                  The last comment I posted was in response of namseer. I tried to post it under "reply" but for some reason it didn't post there.
