Screenshot of NJ.com Facebook post that has a caption of "The July 9 fire was caused by careless smoking" above a picture of a fire engine and a news headline that reads: N.J. found dead in Manchester fire, ruled accidental.
RIP, New Jersey.
Imagine a whole state dying in a fire caused by careless smoking. But, honestly, it's not all that surprising.

The front cover of a book, with the badly constructed title: "The Dogs friends of human's: Dogs are human's best friends since 11.000' The cover shows a close up of the face of a brown dog, with its tongue out, looking at the camera. The title is written in white text on an overlaid black banner. There is a hint of a green lawn or field behind the dog.
Where do I even start? 🤐

Never thought I'd read "you is" used seriously, least of all in an academic article!! #grammar #typo #editingfail
Tons of typos in this recipe book. Pick an acronym and stick with it, gang. Sometimes it's tbsp sometimes just tsp. #EditingFail
Channel 4, actually. Still... #editingfail applies just the same
Watching Iron Man on CH5. Either I nodded off, or they just edited about 5 minutes out of the film. #editingfail
