We have never heard of a richshaw before, and we don’t think you have to be rich to ride a rickshaw, so we’re not sure how this typo escaped the editor’s attention.

Spotted on the Charleston City Paper’s web site on March 25, 2011. 

We’re giving this typo two categories (newspaper typo AND web site typo), because the web site belongs to a newspaper.

We don’t know whether the print version of this story also had the typo, but if you live in Charleston and have seen a copy of the printed newspaper with this headline, would  you let us know?

The first typo is “pellet funs” should be “pellet guns”. The second typo is the missing punctuation from the last sentence.

Pre-paid bank cards will be provided in the following denominations:

$10 for non-working or antique guns, including pellet funs and BB guns. $50 for rifles or shotguns $75 for handguns. $100 for assault weapons

The album cover clearly shows the title uses a contraction, but the review headline and the text in the body of the review spells out “I Am” instead.

Typo spotted by Doubting Thomas in the printed version of the Artvoice, a weekly newspaper published in Buffalo, NY.

you’re, not you’ve, originally uploaded by Shameful Typos.

The Superintendent didn’t say “you’ve going to”, he said “you’re going to”, but the Buffalo News typed it wrong.
