Oh Dear!

I saw an official letter yesterday, from an organisation I belong to. It was so badly written, riddled with spelling and punctuation mistakes, I could barely comprehend the content.

Of course no one is perfect, but it does make you wonder sometimes.

A Little Poem Regarding Computer Spell Checkers...

Eye halve a spelling chequer,

It came with my pea sea,

It plainly marques four my revue,

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word,

And weight four it two say,

Weather eye am wrong oar write,

It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid,

It nose bee fore two long,

And eye can put the error rite,

Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it,

I am shore your pleased two no,

Its letter perfect awl the weigh,

My chequer tolled me sew.

It's little things like that that remind me that they're only human, and that's why I love them.

Who else would I rather sit down with, at 7pm, and have dinner with, than people I regard as my friends?

Four examples of typographic errors from the ABC news site.

I look forward to seeing examples of typographic errors produced by other news sites that report in Australia, purely in the interests of fairness, balance, and not appearing thoroughly un Australian, by attacking a proud Australian institution.
