What is the typo? Order/Oder
Explanation: (500 words max.)
"Finally done!" Jelly climbed down from the ladder, admiring her work. She has spent the last hour hanging out posters advertising the school yearbook. Being vertically challenged, she required a ladder to hang up the posters on the top of the wall. She walked out of the school, unaware of the typo she had made.
Earlier that day, she sat in the Art Teacher's classroom, carefulling printing neat large letters. The signs read...

She didn't notice on one particular poster she had written "Oder yours today". Until the next day.
A stream of kalons ran into the school building, rushing to get to their first period classes. It wasn't that they were excited, they simply couldn't afford a lunch detention for being tardy. Kalons rushed by the posters, not noticing the grammatical error at first. It didn't stay that way for long.
The bell rang and kalons burst out of the classroom. Lunchtime. Kalons huddled in small groups, some sashaying down the hallway, others with their noses in books. People stared at the poster with the typo, some laughing, some offending.
"Oder yours today"
What was that supposed to mean?
Brittney, the head of the cheerleading squad flipped her long locks, in disgust. "Does the yearbook committee think I stink?" All of her friends flipped their locks in unison, walking in the other direction.
That year, the yearbook committee only managed to sell 32 yearbooks to a student body of over 700. Maybe Jelly should have checked her spelling. Better yet, print the posters next year. Spell check to the rescue.
