Funnily enough, some years ago the classic mistake was made on a circular to
council workers about the library opening hours. Unfortunately it apparently
said at the top.
Note new Pubic Library opening hours from April.

That particular spelling mistake happens so often it must sometimes be
deliberate.

The local rag printed a proud boast from our local council "No cuts to pubic
services". I haven't found out precisely what services they offer yet :-).

My favourite was the caption to a photo in the East Kent Gazette of a
soon-to-be married young woman : "Miss Smith and her finance".

And they spell Aesthetics as Esthetic. No one is asking for the diaeresis / umlaut but it just looks so bloody ignorant. Like a childs spelling mistake.

It's insure/ensure that get me. They spell them both with an I, as far
as I can tell. I think there's a difference between ensuring my car
works, and insuring it.

Similar transitions have occurred in many words, such as Oesophagus /
Esophagus (typing that, am surprised it has not yet become Esofagus).
Which results in different acronyms for Lower Oesophageal Sphincter -
LOS / LES. And the idea of typing LES sticks in the throat.

Lose (rhymes with fuse) is a verb, the opposite of find. Loose (rhymes
with juice) is an adjective, the opposite of tight.
