My favorite...and I did it...

The document was supposed to say "does not" You know what happens when the
space is in the wrong place? Move it to the left one space.

Or even the single digit that you miss on spell check and/or that makes it
through edits, but the word is still spelled correctly. We had a member of
our local STC chapter tell this funny story at a recent meeting. (This
sounded like an urban legend, but. ..  )

For an install guide (that dealt w/ some hardware, as in the Home Depot
kind), she had "tighten the wench" instead of "tighten the wrench". . . this
of course made it through spell check, got missed by her editors, and went
out to a bunch of hard core oil rig/derrick worker types - They loved it to
say the least, but. . .
