Deletia, thanks for the mobile upload!  Here’s what she had to say:

Monro Brake is attempting to advertise “Trust and Confidence Every Day,” (or if they wanted to use the adjective form to convey that trust & confidence are commonplace there, “Everyday Trust and Confidence.”)  I spotted a typo in The Big Four where “everyday” was used where “every day” should’ve been.  John commented that he does the same thing at times.  Here’s more proof that he’s not alone!

So that we can all learn something here, according to WiseGeek, “The difference between ‘everyday’ and ‘every day’ is quite simple, and there is an easy rule of thumb which you can use to determine which phrase would be suitable. In short, ‘everyday’ is an adjective which describes something ordinary or commonplace, while the phrase ‘every day’ means ‘each day.’ Confusing these two is a very common grammatical error, and learning to catch this error can improve the quality of your writing immensely.”

LA Times "crediblity"

This story broke a couple days ago but we wanted to wait for the dust to settle. It caught like wildfire after a post by LAObserved which then was picked up by Gawker.

You can clearly see the typo in the circled image.

We’ve included LA Weekly’s response to the typo shortly after.

To be fair to the LA Times, they were quick to apologize to their readers and acknowledged the typo.

Below is a comment by LA Times Deirdre Edgar who tweeted the following on the same day.

Yes, @latimes misspelled “credibility” on the front page today. And yes, we realize that isn’t good for our credibility. Sorry, readers.

This typo occurred about a month ago. Luckily it was fixed pretty quickly. Unfortunately for them, we have a screen shot before the fix. The title says it all.

What exactly are they researching?
