Where, exactly, is that?

Usually I hate typoes, but once in a while, they are kind of funny. Oh sure, people always chuckle when someone leaves the "l" out of public or the "o" out of county, but those are pretty common.

Today's might have been the writer's opinion coming through subconsciously.

In a story about an Army unit learning about helping in Haiti after having been at war, the reporter wrote that the unit had been "in Iraq and Afghanisatan."

My horrible typo is "Yosemity." I don't know why my fingers want to do that. You can imagine how it became a real problem for a while there.

Ha! I have common ones, like blending the t in "the" in with the word before it, but I have never, to my knowledge, done a naughty one.
