Bleary-eyed, I glanced at the headline at the top of the NYT editorial page:
THE ONLY PUBIC HAIR PLAN WE NEED
Wait… wha…? 
:eek:
I take a second look:
THE ONLY PUBLIC HEALTH PLAN WE NEED
Phew!
Bad dyslexia, bad :smack::smack::smack:
That’s totally bogus. Every persons pubic hair plan should be tailored to their specific needs and issues.
On a related note…I remember vacationing to Florida and seeing the Publix groceries every where. First time I saw that I thought it said “Pubix”
My title includes the words “Public Relations” so I live in fear of inadvertently dropping the ‘l’ in a key email.
I’m a technical writer. I’d been in my profession for, oh, 4ish years before I realized how important the “F” was in the word “Shift.” Really changes the meaning when you’re directing someone to press a certain key.
There’s a place here with “Burgers and Bottles” on its sign. It’s in a hard-to-read font, and I always see “Burgers and Hotties.” It’s in a wanna-be hoity-toity suburb, and I thought it was an odd place for a Hooters-type establishment!
My job has us partnering with public sector agencies a lot. We have to be very careful with our marketing materials.
When I first moved to Florida I thought they were crazy to name a grocery chain Pubix. What marketing genius thought of that? It wasn’t until I pointed it out to a bunch of people that I was told I kept missing the “L”.
For those of you who need to avoid certain words when creating documents in Microsoft Word, look into creating an exclusion dictionary, which is a document containing a list of otherwise correct words that you ALWAYS want flagged in spellcheck. Examples:
public/pubic
manager/manger
statue/statute
marital/martial
change/chance
massage/message
asses (common typo for assess)
cunt (common typo for count)
gong (common typo for going)
discus (common typo for discuss)
angel/angle
anus/shit/whatever other naughty/anatomical/scatological words your dirty mind can think of
Basically anything that’s a legitimate dictionary word, but that could cause you trouble if it’s misused. It’s not a substitute for a good solid human proofread, but it can save your butt from errors that are easy to overlook.
I thought the same thing for a while when I moved to Tampa, good to know I’m not the only one. I caught the “L” before I embarrassed myself though. 
My city has such a high average age that it has a Director Of ED!

Y’know M, I, S!, for someone who claims to be asexual you sure do make a lot of sexually-themed threads. 
While my aunt was an officer in the Air Force when she was asked to give a speech to some veterans, including her father. She put together a wonderful talk about how officers in the armed forces work together like a giant organism. Unfortunately, she misspoke that last word.
Nothing like comparing your dad and his buddies to a giant orgasm.
I do?
Drove past a hair stylist’s with a sign that said “blow jobs $3!”
Did a triple take and realized it was “blow dry $3!”
If it had been the first, I’m sure there would have been a line around the block.
Where shopping is an orgasm!
I was the supervisor of a corporate word processing dept. One particular individual was always nasty and abusive to my staff and going into our computer files unbeknownst to us to change things, which particularly ticked me off as it undermined my product control.
After she had done her final proofing of her biography and approved it, one guy who had had enough made a deliberate typo in her bio which was always attached to outgoing proposals to other large corporations. The proposals were always proofread as they were prepared but the bio was assumed to be perfect the way it was and was never included in the editing process but merely printed and attached at the end. The sentence had the phrase something to the effect that she was expert in doing studies on “public sentiment”.
Yeah. I knew about it. Looked the other way. I can’t tell you how many copies of that thing went out. 
Gonna make me do a search are ya?
Sexual orientation versus sexual inclination
Labia
Why is the missionary position considered the default?
A justification for Sexy Vampire Syndrome
Etymology: from corn smut to porn smut
Although that made me realize you start quite a lot of threads, and I just seem to notice sexually-themed ones more easily. Probably says more about me than it does about you.
