Visit Lovely Typos

As the duly-elected Queen of the Island Kingdom of Typos, I hereby welcome you all, my faithful subjects.

It cannot have bypassed your attention that there are many literate and talented people, even authors, who seem to have a unique way of spelling certain everyday words. Many call them sloppy or inattentive to detail. This is not fair!

On the contrary, this habit or art, as we prefer to describe it, is a proud tradition of the peoples of our esteemed kingdom. To criticize our national pastime is no less a social faux pas than to belittle the culture of any other nation, such as Poland, China, Iran, or the United States of America. It is every bit as crass to crack "Typos jokes" as "Polish jokes".

I beg you, people of the world, to raise the standard of tolerance and accept our unique interpretation of written language.

Thnk yu for toru kind attenrion!

Nana Hawthornia
Queen of the Island Kingdom of Typos
