    That's a great one!

    Speaking of typos... I came across this one just a few minutes ago... at least I *hope* it was a typo!

    In one of the local voting guides, the gentleman running for school superintendent (also a long-time English teacher), was asked about his priorities if elected. He said, in part, "...increasing productive parental involvement, and insuring safe, caring, and disruptive learning environments at our schools..." [sic].

    Uh... yeah.

        Yeah, love the typos. But you gotta love the totally clueless too:

        Kind of looks like a miter saw on a table to me.

          Someone just sent me a really painful (!) typo from a nearby paper:
