Dan Quayle's famous misspelling of potato
The most famous misspelling I can remember is Dan Quayle's famous misspelling of potato as 'potatoe'. This caused him great embarrassment in the 1992 election. However, you should know that technically Quayle would have been right in 1880. Potatoe, according to our friend wikipedia, was an archaic spelling for potato that was in use at least until 1880. Check it out here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potatoe).
Anyone else know of any famous misspellings? Does anyone have an example of a misspelling that changed history? Email to me Jon@ideas4now.com!
