    A buddy of mine told me about a baseball story at his paper that mentioned a guy hitting a home run on a 3-2 count.....except "count" was missing the first vowel. Ouch. :eek:

    Oh. My.

    I had to stop an SE from publishing "shutout," only he hit the "i" instead of the "u." We assumed his regularity was fine before he took the mound.

    This thread is making me laugh out loud.

    I was typing too fast once and combined thought wrong into one word in a quote. Thank god the ASE caught it, or we would have had a very high-strung coach complaining that everyone thought he was talking about his star player's thongs in a story.

    Getting "shit" in the paper (haha) is common. I was so paranoid that by last baseball season I searched for it before I filed.

    I have doubts about this one. Nevermind the typo. Would any paper actually refer to the tournament, no matter if that really was its name, as "CLIT"? I don't think so. Gotta call bullshit, Freddie.
