Typos
These are apparently the “best typos” of 2012, according to The Atlantic Wire.
Hear at The Punch, we nevre make typos. Except a certain mix up between “hordes” and “hoard” a little while ago.
Did you see any corker typos this year? A bit of a miscommunication between you and a friend or family member? It’s Thursday. What’s on your mind?
I fondly refer to them as “fan mail”. They’re the emails sent from concerned readers pointing out typos in articles and I love them for it.
Typos are evil. They make a person look silly, slapdash and unprofessional and have a nasty little habit of appearing in any article that you write disclosing the evils of poor spelling and grammar. So watch this space.
Typos also appear in the comments section. Just yesterday banter broke out between Emma and Susan on my piece about texting. Emma pointed out a typo, Susan reprimanded Emma’s typo in her comment about my typo and so it continued.
