Blockbuster's Televison
As seen today on Blockbuster's website. We're mainly into the movie rental thing; why should we care if we spell "television" wrong?

We's Lorem Ipsum Dolore
Not exactly a typo, I suppose, but worth noting: a commercial for the We Network's new website slaps us the ol' "Lorem Ipsum Dolore," the dummy text based on Cicero that's been an industry standard since the 1500s. It's not supposed to be distracting, but I can't imagine having missed it.

CNET's Readibility Problems
CNET shows its spelling prowess in this new YouTube video comparing the Kindle 2 and the Sony PRS-700. For my money you lose some of your credibility on eReaders when you can't spell words like "readability" right.

L.A. Daily News' Endosement
It might have been okay in the '60s, when everybody was endosing everybody, but in the more reasonably-minded '00s the Daily News should just say no. These kind of shenanigans never went down when I was working there! Thanks to Debbie for the great catch.
