This typo has since been FIXED. But, we have the screen grab.

Saw it earlier in the day today & grabbed the screenshot then-&-there. Good job I did. For a RARE change they fixed this typo. Typically most of their typos, & they have many, go uncorrected.

This is BAD on the part of the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’.

I know they kind of like being the Champs of Typos. But, in this instance it is NOT right.

Makes my ‘grouse‘ –> ‘goose’ look insignificant.

A prior ‘Daily Mail‘ typos. Equally classic.

This TYPO is UNFORTUNATE. It is NOT funny.

This is a SCARY, tragic story. This is a 38-year old mom who was ABDUCTED. Nothing funny. No jokes.

I joke that my middle name is ‘typo‘. But, in the main I work alone. I do not, alas (at least anymore) have a WHOLE organization to check my work.

The subject matter of the story is rather distasteful. Hence, why I blurred some of it to spare you the distress. NOT A NICE SUBJECT.

But, the typo is a classic & couldn’t be ignored. I had to share.

You get it right?

It certainly isn’t ‘budgeting’!

They were fidgeting for another word. SMILE.

Might have been spellcheck.

Click to ENLARGE & enjoy. On Facebook. Someone I know had shared it WITHOUT seeing the irony.

This was ‘Speaking with an Indian ACCIDENT‘ typo from a Sept. 2021, is still the best.

Cracked me up. Even more so that folks were SHARING it on Facebook without seeing the TYPO or the irony of it all.

Classic. Of course it had to be an auto-correct though how ‘line’ got transposed to ‘nine’ is bit of a mystery.

Enjoy.

This was ‘Speaking with an Indian ACCIDENT‘ typo from a few days ago.

So, it says: “to defend their coworker, who was left with viruses & scratches …“.

Yes, you could even miss that on a quick read. Plus, the crux of the article was COVID — i.e., a virus. So, it is kind of easy to get lulled into submission.

Yes, OF COURSE, you could catch a virus or two (or even more) in a scuffle such as that.

But, usually we don’t speculate about catching viruses in a brawl UNLESS one of the participants was known to be infected with a virulent viral infection. In such cases the virus carrier could get charged, by the police, with a serious crime to hurt.

In this case, however, it was typo.

You got it right. I am not going to bruise your ego by spelling it out. SMILE.

Given that I claim that my middle name is ‘typo‘ I am kind of jealous of this. I wish it was my typo. Plus, as those that have had the misfortune to interact with me knows, I do (indeed do) speak with an ‘Indian Accident‘. OK, maybe it is a bastardized Ceylon/Welsh accident, but whatever it is, it is no doubt ‘An Accident’.

Yes. Yes. I am not totally stupid. I appreciate that this was ‘autocorrect’. A good one.

My friend, Frank Barnes, the Master of Autocorrect Typos (like I) will be jealous of this. This would have been so much him. I am sure that he will now spend hours trying to better this.

Typos like this in Big Shot publications amuse & amaze me. Don’t they do any checking or editing. It is OK. Adds to the entertainment.

I conclude this quick post, still ‘speaking with an Indian ACCIDENT‘.
