Yes, some typos are more significant than others.
I once set a caption for a picture right slap bang in the centre of Page 1 of the newspaper. The picture showed a yacht in distress, and it was taken from a P3 Orion which had been doing SAR and found it. The caption was meant to read something like "An RNZAF P3 Orion drops a raft to the yacht in distress."
I transposed the "r" and the "f" in "raft". Oops!
The idiot also known as Capfka ...
