Enjoy.

Also take care when referring to a women?s basketball team as ' cunning runts'

Only a cunning linguist such as yourself would dispense such sound advice.

not only am I a cunning linguist, but I won top prize as a master debater in high school

I tip my proverbial hat to you for that one. Very clever.

You're a couple of chuckleheads.

He stole that line from Tom Leykis a radio host.

 
We nearly lost a big customer over a typo because the goof who sent the letter thought as long as spellcheck didn't complain, everything had to be cool.

The customer was unhappy about our handling of a technical problem they were having and the president of their company wrote a nasty complaint letter to our president. Our president looked into it and said to assign our top techical person to the problem until it was fixed, then told the project manager to write a response to appease the customer.

So the project manager writes a pretty long, apologetic letter. The last sentence said, "And to illustrate how much we value your business, we will not assign our most senior technical analyst to your account."

Of course, he meant to say "...we will now assign..."

Worst Typo Evar

I wonder if that was really a typo, 😕

-Xionide

It was, his name is Niger Innis, he's a Republican speaker of some sort. They aired an apology shortly after.

There also was the one where a trophy shop was making a plaque for James Earl Jones. It was delivered to the folks who were presenting it, and it said "For keeping the dream alive" presented to James Earl Ray

Woops
 
A new typo to add to the list...

I sign my business e-mails with the word "Regards". Today, I transposed the "g" for the key directly above it... And the best part, it was a serious note to a problematic client.
