One of Canada’s biggest newspapers has already made the typo of the year
Coffee is made for a reason.
And on the morning of January 3, someone at the Toronto Star might have realized this.
The major newspaper outlet published a story in their print edition that included a bit of a spelling error.
In a story about “Mixed in the Six pop-up events” supporting multiculturalism in the city, someone accidentally included an extra letter in a subheading.

Beyond the fact that the whole sentence is awkward to read, this heading was approved for the front page of the newspaper’s Life & Entertainment section.
While the error was eliminated on the online version, print is forever.
