Oh my. Nothing shakes your confidence in an official organization like a few well-placed typos. Speaking of which, nearly every time someone writes about grammar or mispelling issues, they commit an error themselves. I wonder what I’ll do in this post.
There are a lot of signs posted in the Den of Iniquity like “Keep Isle’s Clear” and “All Employee’s Must Use Safety Knives.” I’d wager that more than half of such signs posted on the factory floor boast such an egregious error.
I was applying for an online savings account recently, and the Rates Policy mentioned a penalty for early “withdrawl.” That particular account must be the Redneck Special.

I believe that would be misspelling, Tom. :)
But don’t feel to terribly — you predicted it.
Cheers,

PS: My “typo” ain’t.

Too true. I like the newspaper headline, “Iraqi Head Seeks Arms.” Ah, the English language.

At a particular college that will remain anonymous, staff posted a sign directing people to “Guy’s Dorms.”
Now that’s living large!
