BBC story on web address typos

I am sure as generic portfolio holders, we have all experienced this ourselves in some shape or form

For example, today I have received 2 CV's from this job post here

http://www.jobs24.co.uk/SearchResul...rydesc=SearchJobQueryDescription&viewedfrom=1

They were sent to follow instead of fallow ! Naturally these people don't deserve the job anyway if they get confused with such a silly typo

Of course the BBC doesn't do typos!

No wait ..... on that page there's a link to an article, entitled White Heat, about the Frankfurt motor show - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14845758. There's mention of a new British marque called Eternity. However, it's actually called Eterniti. Well done Beeb.

I see that someone has regged "eternity motors .co.uk" today.

I receive an amazing number for my geos. Some from/to local authority workers using the .com or .co.uk instead of the .gov.uk, and many others from nationwide chains who use [email protected], but people forget and use [email protected].

I've been receiving purchase orders for one nationwide company for months. I told them several times that the email address they published was incorrect, but they treated me as someone trying to cause trouble.

I'm curious why everyone turns on email on the domains? Isn't it better to have everything fail, which alerts the original senders that they've got a problem? Is there a commercial benefit to switching email on?

That's exactly what I have now done on them all, with the exception of the correct email addresses of course. I have to admit though to a certain curiosity before that (or should I call it nosiness?).
