Being a media team of sorts, the guys at World Wide Creative generally regard the word ‘typo’ in the same way that one would regard downing a slug of greasy dishwater. We’ve had some corkers, the most recent being one from World Wide Creative’s new Creative Director, where she wrote ‘cyst’ instead of ’site’ – ahem. Here are some more pearlers:
- ‘I took a screenshit on the web layout, please take a look at the attachment’ (from an email to a client).
- ‘Do you want your website to shit in cyberspace and do nothing?’ (in presentation notes prior to a workshop).
- ‘When would you like your document suppository to go?’ (as apposed to ‘document repository’).
- ‘Your reputation exceeds you’ (technically, this wasn’t a typo… it was a phone conversation with an old client).
Speaking of telephone conversations, for some obscure, inexplicable reason, people get our name wrong when we say it over the phone. Here are some of the deviations of World Wide Creative over the years:
- World Wide Creditors
- World War Creators (no kidding… this one was a showstopper)
- Wild World Creative
- Wild Whirl Creative
- Woolberg Creditors
- World In Crisis
