LOL! I’ve done letterpress printing; I have a couple of old Golding Pearls and cases of handset type in my basement. I love typo jokes. :-D

Did you hear the one about the accident form? “Was the driver fober?” And someone filled it out: “Yes, but the printer wasn’t.”

A true story (read this in a printing mag): one of the university presses (forget which one) decided to try to produce a work completely free of typos. They set it up, then posted proofs on a bulletin board, with a pretty nice reward for every typo spotted. Well, the students liked that idea, and earned themselves quite a bit of cash. Finally, the press decided the last typo had been eliminated, and sent the book to press. Not long after they discovered a typo – on the first page! :<)

An acquaintance swears this is a true story; it seems plausible to me, but I wasn’t there and I have only his word for it. The company he worked for was having a lot of trouble with typos in material they produced, so the PR head sent around a memo reminding everyone of the importance of proper spelling. It was signed Whoever Doe, Director of Pubic Relations. :-O

Ha ha. Thanks. I was having a rough week on the blogs. Thanks for your story. I use to do a lot more preflight type stuff, but the job I have now is a lot of typesetting. Oh dear. Once I did a business card for a gentleman with the last name of Male. I accidentally put his email address as soandso@hotmale.com. Ha ha. Luckily he caught it in the proofing before it went to press.

LOL! Yes, and no one ever understands why you have to ask them to spell a common name, but if you don’t, that Smith will turn out to be Smythe. On the other hand, perhaps that mistake wasn’t just a typo – you could be on to something. Can you imagine just how many men would pay to have an email address at hotmale.com? ROTFL!

Thanks! I love hearing about typos. You should see some of the actual names I come across though. Funny stuff.
