To all eagle eyes: find the error on the election poster! That it says “Hamburg” in large letters, when it’s election advertising from Lower Saxony? Wrong, Hamburg is just the surname of the green top candidate. A closer look: There is a s missing. Mrs. Hamburg wants to rule Lower Saxony in the future, soso. Whether the low thing is the opposite of the main thing?
Small mistake, big mockery of the political competition on Twitter. “It’s a bit embarrassing,” writes the SPD, and the CDU, in the person of Junge Union leader Tilman Kuban, is really going all out: “If the top candidate can’t even spell the country, she shouldn’t govern it!” The Greens have now mothballed the 600 printed copies of the poster.
That’s a shame, because there are few things people are as unanimous about as their tendency to make typographical errors – regardless of whether they are ten-finger champions or users of the 1FSS (one-finger search system). Google, for example, is allegedly only called Google because of a typo, actually the name Googolplex was intended, based on the largest number that can be described, a one followed by ten to the power of a hundred zeros. But when an employee wanted to enter the word in the URL window to see if the domain was still available, he made a mistake, Larry Page was thrilled and one of the most valuable brand names in the world was born.
In 2010, the head of the Chilean mint was not so lucky. He didn’t notice that a few thousand coins with the inscription “Chiie” came into circulation and was fired as a result.
A prime minister pooping nuts
If you type a lot, you make a typo, which is why journalists are among the nation’s chief letter scramblers. In Belrin one or the other Federal Chancellor has ruled or also ruled, years ago a Bavarian Prime Minister was recommended to poop hard nuts, which by the way has nothing to do with the numerous shits that scare the country from time to time . And does Sigmar Gabriel, who is also known to be a lowly thing, know what he can do? A TV banderole once read: Sigmar Gabriel is knitting against it.
Unfortunately, the hastily printed replacement poster for the Greens is error-free. There would have been a lot more to it than that. Hanover, for example, could be turned into a hangover.
