So funny -
Ragan is a firm specializing in communication training, analysis of communication, you name it. In today's email newsletter they distributed this story about unfortunate misspellings and typos.
Great sidebar, too:
Nobody’s perfect, not even the spell check
To help avoid grammar goofs we talked to Julie DeSilva, the director of editorial services at ProofreadNOW.com, a professional copyediting and proofreading firm. She suggested communicators run searches on these common terms the spell check might miss:
form/from
mange/manger (for manage/manager)
polices (for policies)
pubic (for public)
Sleight of hand not slight. Sleight means deceitful craftiness.
Hay is baled; water is bailed.
Interest is piqued not peaked.
Stocks fare well not fair well
