Typos as Headlines

choking on your coffee is not the best way to wake up.
as i was catching up on the morning’s headlines on google news – this one caught my eye.
fYi – there is no word called fule
toi

copy editor - is not someone who copies from the net and pastses pastes on-line :)

I hope that this didn’t get printed, and is only there in the on-line edition.

And finally, to err is human. But, to put it on-line without checking is asking for trouble :)

    Last night, TIMES NOW had a headline (at 9 PM prime time) that spelled “VULNERABLWLE”.

    Hahaha, that’s pretty hilarious. I’m a grammar Nazi, so this headline in TOI made me cringe violently:

    Clearly TOI needs a better proof-reading team…

    This is what would be called as “Headline FAIL” on failblog.org :)
