    VANCOUVER, BC, August 31, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you still think that you don't need to pay a proofreader to check your copy, then consider some of the following typos that made it into print recently:

Amercia is with Mitt - Campaign slogan for Mitt Romney.

If this one weren't embarrassing enough, less than a week later, the Romney campaign discussed the approval rating of ex-President Ronald Regan!

This next one was mortifying for the University of Texas:

Lyndon B. Johnson School of Pubic Affairs - printed on University of Texas Commencement 2012 programme

The public/pubic error is all too common unfortunately - this one from an Indiana billboard:

15 Best Things About Our Pubic Schools

Indiana does seem to have some educational issues. On July 15, 2012 a graphic appeared to introduce a TV news item in South Bend, Indiana, reading as follows:

School Two Easy for Kids

Last, but by no means least, thanks to http://www.projectcopy.com/3-great-examples-of-funny-typos for this ironic slogan:

Reliability...always upholding the highest standards for every detal.

We could go on but we think we may have made our point...
