Thread Name: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen
Subject: RE: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen
Pope laid in South End. (Headline on a story about a new sewer line being installed in southerly district of city. It was supposed to say "Pipe laid in South End.")
Listing of volunteer opportunities said baby sitters were sought to work four-hour shits. (supposed to be shifts).
Story about a pod of pilot whales becoming grounded referred to this as an "ass beaching." (Was supposed to be mass beaching.)
All come from the newspaper where I work. I was the editor responsible for the second two.
