In the old Nintendo video game 1942 I once spent like 7 hours battling through all of the levels. When you finally beat the game you expect some fanfare. Instead the word “Congratulation” (no s) appears in white on a black screen and then the game goes back to the main menu. I didn’t know whether to laugh or get a sledgehammer to smash the fucking game into itty bitty congratulatory bits\* . . . DaLovin’ Dj \*Please, no 8-bit jokes. ---

Man, I miss those guys. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/post-the-funniest-typo-youve-ever-seen/244149.md?page=5)
