Writing pubic instead of public is one of the classic typos of all time. It's extra embarrassing, though, when it appears on a giant billboard celebrating the achievements of your local pubic—sorry, public—school system. That's what happened in South Bend, Ind., this week. A communications firm called the Blue Waters Group issued a mea culpa for the ad, which promotes a local Web site called SouthBendOn.com. 'I feel terrible. It's a mistake we made, and we're guilty of it and responsible for it, and we take full responsibility for the error,' says Blue Water president, Patrick Strickler. 'Four people looked at it, eyeballed it and didn't see the mistake, and those people all work for me. We take responsibility for it. We simply blew it. We did not see the missing 'L.' ' Way to throw your employees under the bus, Strickler! Via Jalopnik.
