I agree, of course typos are possible.
Not sure it was one in the example I gave, though. The wrong word was repeated in the post. "Forgetting" the same two letters twice seems unlikely.
The most recent examples of an inability to spell I've run across in various threads include "dignaty," and "definatly." There must be something about the letter 'i' that these people find offensive. (Or, I should probably put that more appropriately, "offensave.")
I've been working with a widely-used distribution software package from a company called 'Vocollect' used by Walmart and numerous other large companies. It refers to individual units of product as "eaches." To the best of my knowledge this is not an English word. Later I noticed "eaches" on some packaging. It makes no sense. Either a thing is one, or more than one. How can it be both? Vocollect, you're not very bright.
One of my SISTERS used "sir name" in an email once. My other sisters and I were emailing "huh?s" to one another.
Shouldn't that be "huh?'s", with apostrophe, which is used to separate a numeral, a single letter, or printer's symbol from the "s" when pluralizing it? Like "months with R's in them". Or "the purple 5's on the backs of the new bills". Or "the upside-down ?'s that begin Spanish questions".

I wasn't sure and experimented with a few variations and decided just to leave it that way. Feel free to repunctuate.
