Best Misspelling of the Day

I am definitely one of those poor souls who derive schadenfreude from typos - menus, advertisements thinly disguised as letters to my home, you get the picture.

There are some mistakes made because letters are close together on a keyboard (meet vs neet)

There are those made because the words are homynims (there and they're)

And then there are those made by people who listen, but do not read. Those are my favorite! Check this one out from a CNN blog today:

See the comment by Karl in SF: "The economy is a mute issue."

It's a moot issue, Karl. Thanks for playing.
