Typo of the Week award goes to Mark Pack

By | Sat 6th September 2014 - 12:45 pm

Mark PackMark wrote a piece about a Conservative Councillor being disqualified after conviction on a firearms charge.

Spot the wonderful typo.

If he’s corrected it, here’s the screen grab:

Mark Pack brilliant typo

 

How, I wonder, would you do it legally?

This is, of course, written very much in the spirit of “there but for the grace of God go I.”

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about Nicola Sturgeon challenging Clegg to the Ice Bucket Challenge. At the end of the third paragraph, there was an extraneous r at the end of the word waste.

Cue some very excitable cybernats screen grabbing that paragraph and touting it round Twitter, full of outrage at this dreadful insult to the First Minister and demanding apologies. If they had bothered to read the article, they would have seen that I was actually being quite nice to him.

What’s the best typo you have seen or made?

    Not a political one, but someone recently asked my company to supply product for a “futility study”.

    A tender document for a feasibility study asked for details of the mythology to be employed – possibly a Freudian slip rather than a typo?
