Lailah: You know how it is, girls. I just can't sleep with him snoring like that! And, don't even ask about that bear!!
"...book I recently bought that had the actual TITLE misspelled on the spine of the book. A glaring typographical error that really (really!) should have been caught. So, using that as a springboard, today’s question: What’s the worst typographical error you’ve ever found in (or on) a book? "
A title doesn't immediately spring to mind although typos seem to leap off the page when I'm reading. It seems to me that books do not generally have a "stand alone" typo. If there is one, typically there are more to follow.
Our local newspaper has many-many-many typos always! One that is particularly annoying is the use of 's as a plural!! In a newspaper!! Is this a typo or ignorance? I donn'tt no.

GREAT pic ... and even cuter caption!
Yes, journalists can be the worst. How about that newstrip that runs on the bottom of the news? Awful! Love your doggies!
Lailah is getting so big!!!
Someone needs to invent canine Breathe Right strips. ;)
A number of years ago, I actually subscribed to our local paper simply to giggle at all the typos. Boy, does that sound lame:)
Poor Lailah. Yes, I always find it ironic to see so many typos in the newspaper.
I sympathize. Grover snores, too. And, it's loud.
oh I agree, typos are notorious in newspapers, I read they are written for the 5th grade level??? Now as far as the worst one I have ever read I think of a sign I just read for a "Diner" that actually was spelled "dinner" and then there was the typo in a book I read a few years back where they actually had a page totally missing?? I mean it jumped to another page and I had to go to the library to try and find a copy that was not missing the page so I could find out what happeded??? I cannot remember now what the book was but I believe it was a LAwerence Sanders books. I am constantly catching typos, and one that bothers me is the usuage of "their" and "there" that one bugs me and "accept" and "except" pet peeve....Oh and I think your pooches are adorable... :)
OH! Boxer dogs! I love their smoochable faces and my two are some of the best knitting models ever.
