Thread Name: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen
Subject: RE: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen
In the early '70s my church 'back home' in the Niagara Penninsula hired an extremely nice middle-age woman as Christian Education Worker. The local rag ran a full page article on her and listed her hobbies as, "reading and pornography". I doubt if her interest in "photography" actually lay in this direction...

Also, the local paper here in Carmarthen put up some new signage a few years back. The English read, "The oldest paper in Wales". The Welsh read, "Y papur hunaf yng Nghymru"; trans.: The sleepiest paper in Wales. If dozy = sleepy, they just about got that right!
