LOL! Took me a minute to figure this one out

Here's a sad one:

I work for the mortgage branch of a major bank. We receive a weekly newsletter. In today's the first headline has "mortgage" misspelled. Twice.

THAT'S AWFUL! Misspelling in personal letters, on a forum, etc. is one thing, but it's inexcusable for a business to let any kind of written mistake to go out to the public.

This is some funny stuff!

My DH types and spells like a pro because that's what he does for a living (copy editing and proofreading). I on the other hand have to hunt and peck and hopefully catch my mistakes before I hit submit.

In an informal setting like this I think it's OK to leave your mistakes as long as the idea is understood. BUT, for me to leave a mistake is personally humiliating, just my own paranoia. LOL

Fortunately, this is an internal newsletter, for employees only. Still.

In the first line, they spelled it "Mortgag". Somebody must have pointed out that there was an "e" missing, because the second line had it spelled "Mortgaege".
