Unfortunate Typo

[Bibble]

"DES MOINES, Iowa - The president of an Iowa college says he's sorry about an unfortunate and offensive typo in a school handbook.

A calendar entry for Feb. 16, 2009, was supposed to read "Black History Lunch and Learn." Instead, it says "Black History Linch and Learn."

It sounds like "lynch," a term commonly used for hangings by a mob.

The handbook was distributed to about 10,000 students before the mistake was discovered.

Des Moines Area Community College President Rob Denson says stickers are available to place over the entry, which will be corrected in the next printing."

I would have made it LYNCH instead of LUNCH on the 2nd printing for shits and giggles.

if it had ended up as 'lynch' i would definitely suspect someone did it intentionally

not really the y key is beside the u

not really the y key is beside the u

i guess, but c'mon. its just too good, at least in that context.

and if you use correct typing form you'd have to over extend your left index finger to hit 'y' rather than just miss short and hit 'i'.

but anyway, i don't spend enough time typing 'lunch' to know how often i'd fuck it up.
