Typos affect us all. No matter how large the organisation, and no matter how many people they pay to check, and double-check their output, mistakes can still happen. Appearing briefly on the front page of last friday’s New York Times website was this rather embarrassing example.
Now in defence of the New York Times, they probably didn’t actually type the word ‘Moron’ but something similar to it that their spelling checker then corrected (incorrectly). Where they did slip up was not spotting it! It’s almost exactly the same process that leads to misspelled eBay items appearing on eBay.
