I worked in an office that had a Marketing and Communication section. They would advertise their services internally. I sent them an email one day to tell them they had spelt "Comunication" incorrectly in one of their ads.

"12 items or less." I don't know why it gets to me but it does.

Ignorance is not a point of view.
I had a hair curling wand thingy (think like a searing hot piece of metal with spikes sticking out of it). On the instructions, the r and n in 'burn' had obviously been misread during some editing, with the rn turning into an m, so all over the thing it had in big letters "WARNING: Bum hazard." and in the detailed instructions, "wrap hair around shaft of wand, taking care not to bum yourself." I still giggle thinking about it. This post has been edited by Alacritous~Andy: 05/02/2013, 09:21 PM

You REALLY don't want to bum yourself with a hot curling wand.
