    Cookbook recalled over a typo....I admit..I LOL'd.

    I had to read like four times before I caught the type. My mind just instantly jumped to pepper every time.

    That being said, i wonder how many insane people tried that. I can see Cartman from south park doing that. "Goddamn it! I need to be grinded for my recipe...."

        I love watching the "live" subtitles on news programs... they come out with some howlers.
        Recently on the day Parliament was dissolved before the election here next month, the BBC news was showing the arrival at Buckingham Palace of the Queen on her way to meet the PM Gordon Brown

        The subtitles read something like..
        "the Queen will make her way to a private room where she will sue (see) Gordon Brown.

        That's the one that sticks in mind from recently but I wish I could remember which one made me laugh out loud at the gym the other day... I got some very odd looks giggling to myself

        I just posted that link into a small IRC channel I frequent.. that was the response on the most part in there.. apart from one off colour joke that I really wont repeat

        For once I saw the typo straight away.. I don't usually.. odd that
        Arp happens!

        Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

          I can see how this could happen when running spell check. If it was misspelled a different way and "people" happened to be the first suggestion for a correction, and you just hit the change button because you're going too fast...simple enough. Then further spell checks wouldn't catch it at all. Or sometimes you just type the completely wrong word because your brain goes faster than your fingers. I say the wrong word all the time when I'm reading out loud because my eyes are a line or two ahead of my mouth.

            spell check is a dangerous thing...

            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 OK. I LOL'd too. I was thinking of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets trying to stuff some poor black person into a grinder...

                    My husband constantly refers to "mettle" when he means "metal". Now, he has a severe learning disability and can't spell to save his life. He has adapted very well. However, as a mechanical engineer, particularly a materials specialist...
