Jewelry Nowadays

I though this was a weird appearance for a make your own bracelets kit....

Are you all doing okay, Claire's product namers? Perhaps you need a quick break? Some fresh air? A dictionary??? I don't know about you, but that looks like a scarf to me...

While looking for more information about an upcoming school trip, I found this horrendous typo that's so bad I almost think it was intentional.
Look at this:

From: http://www.musicfestivalstoyou.com/gurnee.html
I mean, it take more than a slip of a finger to type an "i"with a diaeresis (that's the two dots), inverted question mark, and a fraction instead of an apostrophe and an "s", right?
Now I'm curious about what really happened. Conspiracy theories and all other suggestions are welcome!

"Abbey'a pkucky postulant"

Well, it's been a while since I posted a typo I'd found. Here's one.

From the New York Daily News website

"Abbey'a"? Really? Yes, the s and a keys are next to each other, but what happened to proofreading?
And what is "pkucky"? I suppose I can assume it's "plucky", but I shouldn't have to assume that one non-word is a word!

By the way, this is from an article on "The Sound of Music Live!" which was playing on NBC Thursday night.
(It wasn't terrible, but I enjoyed the 1965 movie much more. However, I guess it's not very fair to compare these two. The movie was a movie; "The Sound of Music Live!" was an attempt at a live musical on television. The movie had Julie Andrews as Maria; "The Sound of Music Live!" featured Carrie Underwood. The two just had different goals and constraints.)

Typo #3


Seriously? The Commercial Appeal spelling "winners" incorrectly? That's just... Oh, never mind!
(This one's not as funny as the other ones, just a little surprising. Well GM feels society already has collapsed, based on our use of language... )

Knex House


What now? You now live it in?
He/she/it probably meant live "in it" which is still an interesting statement...

Ticked?

I was browsing through some other blogs a couple days ago. There was one with a photography contest with the topic of the photographs being children. I found this comment on the winners page left by one of the winners...
