I'm webmastering our parish website-- good thing I proofrede, because about that raffle-- I had typed "Sinners need not be present"! (Winners) And in a PM today, "fifference." What are some of yours, or some you've seen and gotten a laugh out of? Not the timeworn bulletin bloopers, please-- fresh stuff from your life. ~Susan |

She glanced at someone else's work and read that some unfortunate miner's widow's concessionary coal allowance was to be reduced to 5 tons "per anum". |

(It's very easy to add new words to most spellcheck dictionaries, but almost impossible to delete one from the base dictionary that comes with your wp program.) John |

15 Sep 08 - 06:29 PM (#2441505) Subject: RE: BS: Funny Yptos (Typos) From: Genie Just came across this headline (at www.620kpoj.com): "Hopefuls pack Rose Garden for chance to sign at Blazers game" Now, I think it's great if signers accompany the main vocalists at events like basketball games, for the sake of the hearing-impaired. But since the accompanying photo was of a young woman holding a mic up to her mouth, I sort of got the impression that wasn't the type of talent they were auditioning for.

(black beret). My fellow lawyers on the 'Cat will be interested to learn that there is a Tort of Pissing Off. (suspect that one was deliberate . . . ) |
