The one that I recall first was in a magazine called Vending, or some such, they left the 'L' out of 'public' in a caption and I found it sniggerworthy. Hey, it was 1966.

1966?

Must have still been using typewriters.

I worked for a nearby County for a public agency, which will remain nameless.

That particular typo popped up at least once a month.

And that was late 90s-early 2000s

The word processing age, no excuse. Seems to me you can exclude specific words from the word processing dictionary to avoid such embarrassment.

We had a funny error in the yellow pages many years ago.(New England Telephone)

It was a large ad for a sex therapist.

The spacing was off in the word “therapist” and it was printed as;

THE RAPIST AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY.
