There’s a universal “rule” of writing, akin to the old “Murphy’s Law” thinking about life in general: Typos happen. I have no data on the matter, but I’m pretty sure typos happen in ALL written languages, too.

I was just looking over my last post here and noticed that the link in the left-hand sidebar to one of my “merchant partners” who offers great deals on tarps and other utility coverings has been sitting there with a typo in it for however many months I’ve had the link up.

And no one even noticed or called that to my attention.

As it read before, the link was: “Yard tarps, for easy leaf removal. Chick for Full Details!” The typo, of course, was “Chick.” It should read as it does now — “Click.”

Those typos realyl aer na embarasment, aren’t thye?
