7 awkward corporate typos

Typos happen, even to the best of us. True

Try as we might, these insidious errors make their way into our prose. Perhaps the worst part about typos is that so often they deal with sexual innuendo and bodily functions. How many times has “pubic relations” slipped past a copy edit? 

Recently, we asked the members of PR Daily’s Facebook page to share the worst typos they’ve ever written or seen. Surprise, surprise—most of them dealt with the body. Here are seven examples, each of which would make a middle school student giggle. It’s OK if you chuckle, too. 

YMO2:10 Things Your Boss Never Wants To Hear

One of the best ways to ensure your day-to-day work life is pleasant and your career remains on an upward trajectory is to get—and stay—on your boss's good side. It sounds like a simple thing to do, but you'd be surprised at the number of employees who can't seem to get it right.

The 10 Commandments Of Blogging

It's a new year. You have another year to achieve your business and blogging goals. There are many things you will need to do this year, but there are a few things you must do to get the most out of your blog. Let's call them commandments.

1. Thou shalt write every day.

Words are your hammer and nails. Know how to use them, and they will build your blog and business. The only way to master writing is to write a lot, so set aside time every day to write a few paragraphs. Over time you'll find your style and voice.

2. Thou shalt publish once a week.

I've neglected this commandment before and suffered. A blog is a living organism, and you must feed it with new content. A blog without fresh content will be ignored by readers and Google, drying up your traffic, leads and sales. Your traffic will increase as you post more frequently.

Be careful to balance frequency with quality. No one will return to a blog with shoddy content.
