Typos


Typos, is it something that gives a sarcastic smile on one’s face. Not always though. Sometimes things can go beyond a smile. Once a student wrote a word “Gramar”; on the first page of his note book. The very first page, line and the heading was a glaring mistake that got aged and overlooked till that day. During the inspection, one of the senior directors of the institution picked some lucky student and asked to submit their English note book; the celebrated mouth-eaten typo was revealed to the whole world. I had a hard time getting over that incident. Oops! Did I say I had a hard time? Ok that’s pretty much it is.

I didn’t learn much from that one though; I made a million typos there after too. Million may be little extravagant exaggeration, anyway enough of the drama.
I saw this billboard on my way to hometown from Bangalore. It said LEMAN TEA… 7.00. I was not director of the shopping complex to punish them for having a typo on the hoarding, so I am just posting it here for everyone. In fact I wasn’t punished for the “Gramar” issue, but the consequence was humiliating.
