One of our Typoze members Deletia snapped a photo of this typo while recently shopping at her local mall. Below is the full typo in all its glory along with the suggested fix.
“Love does not consist in gazing at eachother [sic] but in looking uotward [sic] together in the same direction.”
“Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Considering the error, does one still have to pay full price? =)
Our thanks to Deletia for this image. Anyone can contribute photos they’ve spotted by simply emailing them to us at support@typoze.com.
Here’s an excerpt from the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. Thanks for lending us the book, bluedog! Or is it our Christmas gift?
A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
“Why?” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
“I’m a panda,” he says, at the door. “Look it up.”
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
“Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
So, [typoze] really do matter, even if they’re only occasionally matters of life and death.
One of our readers came across this article so we thought we’d share it with everyone.
Ever since electronic books emerged as a major growth market, New York’s largest publishing houses have worried that big-name authors might sign deals directly with e-book retailers or other new ventures, bypassing traditional publishers entirely.
Now, one well-known author is doing just that.
Stephen R. Covey, one of the most successful business authors of the last two decades, has moved e-book rights to two of his best-selling books from his print publisher, Simon & Schuster, a division of the CBS Corporation, to a digital publisher that will sell the e-books to Amazon.com for one year.
This group is called SEIU. And they have an American dream. Unfortunately, they spelled “American” wrong.
Here’s a quick post. Since when does 1-1 equal a win?
Am I that behind in sports?
Is this even a typo? What is it?
Ok this isn’t a typo or grammatical error, but it’s just too ironic not to post.
So enjoy!
(joking aside, we pray this situation gets resolved as quickly as possible)
