HEADLIE/TIEPOE

You can imagine what a headlie is--a fake headline. A tiepoe is a misspelling or similar problem. All are designed, of course, to be humorous; and, as you probably have noticed, not all are fabricated! One of my combo headlie/tiepoe examples is the following: CARDINAL BENEDICT BECOMES POP. Here's a tiepoe that could be a company wrecker: law firm motto, "We help injure people." Moreover, the title of this blog involves a tiepoe. We apologize for any inconvenience the missing apostrophe may have caused.
