20 of the Worst Typos, Grammatical Errors & Spelling Mistakes We've Ever Seen

20 of the Worst Typos, Grammatical Errors & Spelling Mistakes We've Ever Seen | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

I empathize with these unlucky writers, though. Typos are inevitable. Sometimes, they tiptoe into my blog posts, and there’s nothing I can do about the embarrassment except lock myself in the nap room and wail into a pillow.


But the 20 pen slips below were so hilarious and shocking that my laughter pierced through all my colleagues' noise-canceling headphones. I couldn't stop chuckling at these editing blunders.


So, although our hearts sting for these writers, we decided to share their hysterical typos and grammatical errors. Hopefully, they'll forget the pain and laugh with us too....

Trump knows nothing about tech, and that's scary

Trump knows nothing about tech, and that's scary | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

Regardless if you agree with the today's choice to put Donald Trump in the White House, there's one thing clear -- he's not a big fan of technology.

 

It’s not just that he doesn’t know what the internet is about, this is a guy that thinks he can call Bill Gates to shut down the internet. I mean, come on.

 

Nobody knows what the coming years will bring for the US, but from a political standpoint they’ll be very interesting — rest assured many will write about that in the coming days.But from a tech view, I’m scared. But at least Trump seems to have a friend that shares his views....

How Have The Media Times Changed? The 'AP Stylebook' Knows

How Have The Media Times Changed? The 'AP Stylebook' Knows | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

In 1977, according to the AP style guide I still occasionally refer to, using the acronym “TV” as a noun when writing about television was not advised.

“Acceptable as an adjective or in such constructions as cable TV [italics theirs]. But do not normally use as a noun unless part of a quotation,” counsels the item on “TV” in the 1977 edition of the AP Stylebook -- formerly titled “The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual.”

Today we use “TV” and “television” more or less interchangeably as nouns, although the former is probably used more now than the latter. One thing the 1977 Stylebook reveals, however, is that “media” -- whether electronic or otherwise -- was not nearly the obsession for news organizations that it is today.

Part of the reason was that the world at large was not nearly as obsessed with media and technology -- and the companies responsible for them -- as we are now. There was so much less of it then too, obviously....
