But they kinda fit the category. I once had a letter addressed to "My Hand" and my handwriting isn't that bad! Sometimes it makes me wonder who is employed to type envelopes in big corporations... The other is from a medium sized software house I used to work for. One of my colleagues, named Steve Holdship, had been doing a proposal for a french company (in France) and had spoken several times by phone to people there. Eventually, someone sent him the travel details and addressed the letter to..... Mr S. Oldsheep. And its true -- he was proudly showing the letter around the office. A kind of educated typo, that one! -- Marcus Hand (hou5h!mgh)
