All major publications, businesses, and websites employ editors to catch all their little typos and mistakes. However, many people and businesses don't have the luxury of their own editors and have to go it alone. Usually these amateur publications, signs and advertisements turn out fine. But when they don't - they'll probably turn up on funnytypos.com.
Funnytypos is a blog where people can post funny typos, misspellings and bad grammar. A lot of the typos come from improper translations of other languages, such as this McDonald's ad. Signs for events are another commonly posted item on the website. Check out this sign for a Sexist Contest. There are also some really bizarre posts, like this tombstone.
So next time you see a sign for the "libary" or an advertisment for a "vacume," take a picture and send it to Funnytypos for all to enjoy!

I find the most typos in my class books. I figured I was being too picky, but it bothered me that professors make multiple spelling mistakes in their publications. I found the most spelling typos in my Economics 102 and 103 books.
