There's nothing wrong with typos. Everyone makes them. But what is irksome is when the same word is misspelled each time it appears, or the same incorrect word is used in the same context every time, and so on.

I once wrote a newsletter article on viruses in the workplace, in which I made brief reference to the Spanish Flu outbreaks of 1918. Unfortunately, the "U" and "Y" keys sit next to each other on the keyboard, and the editor must have been asleep when I submitted the work.
The article went to print with the words "Spanish Fly pandemic" in the third paragraph. An indignant Letter to the Editor and a contrite retraction followed soon after.
Folks, save yourselves the embarrassment. Check your writing.
