Legal documents are riddled with errors, headlines of respectable publications are rife with misspellings, and even your favorite books need a few reprints to get everything right. Isn't it time we learned to laugh at our mistakes instead of despairing? \u003ci\u003eJust My Typo\u003c\/i\u003e is an irresistible collection of the most humorous, mistakenly poignant, and downright awful typos in texts, from the Bible to insurance advertisements to political slogans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Within these pages, you'll travel back in time with great figures from history, such as Sir Francis Drake (who circumcised the world in a small ship) and Rambo (the famous French poet). You'll also find valuable moral instruction (\"Blessed are the meek, for they shall irrigate the earth.\"), and meet politicians who exploit disasters to boost their pubic profiles. Structured according to categories (such as, \"To Be or To Be: Typos in Literature\"), you'll easily find either a quick laugh or a relaxing--and cringe-inducing--read. A few more of the gems within: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \"The Queen pissed graciously over the Menai Bridge.\" \u003cbr\u003e - \"I am certain of one thing. Whatever may come between us--and wherever he may be on earth--Arthur will always remember that I love ham.\" (The Parting, Millicent Hemming)\u003cbr\u003e - \"Love is just a passing fanny.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEditors, proofreaders, and writers everywhere pull their hair out trying to eliminate mistakes, to no avail. Celebrating the humanity of our errors and the timelessness of mistakes, \u003ci\u003eJust My Typo\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone who values the power and peril of the written word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385346603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.07h x 5.09w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Drummond Moir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45150682710197,"sku":"9780385346603","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_acaac674-f653-4d52-800a-04801871bea5.jpg?v=1741104916","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/just-my-typo-from-sinning-with-the-choir-to-the-untied-states-9780385346603","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
