Had a lawyer I worked for years ago who spelled checked a memo she was working on and replaced "public" with "pubic" throughout the entire memo.

People after my own heart... When I was little, I had to have allergy shots every week. My dad would take me, and to keep my mind off what was happening, we played a game of "who can find the worst misspelling on a sign." (and I guess I better proofread my post here better than usual, although I think I don't often have too many typos, being another J-school major). I always got a kick out of Leno's "Headlines" bits. I still don't like to buy from stores that have errors in signs...

I also proofread the ads that come in for the newspaper, and you wouldn't believe how many national ads have errors. Like the Walgreen's ad used the word "it's" as a possessive (one of my BIG pet peeves), and a big full page ad had the word "Atlanta" spelled "Altlanta". And it's an Atlanta paper!!!! The worst part is we can't pull those ads because they're made by a third party, we just give them a heads up and let them tell their ad agencies. I don't know what they're smoking over at the ad agencies, but it's not helping their spelling skills much...
