I was doing my morning surfing, and found a link on one of my usual news sites. There was a typo in there just just screamed at me and made my head hurt. I just had to write a letter to the editor.

I am writing in regards to "Reporters Challenge McClellan on Sources,
'Newsweek'" at <http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000922215>.
Call me optimistic, but I would expect a journal called "Editor and
Publisher" to actually edit their articles.

"...unseemly pressure by the White House on Newsweek to produce
something in print that would undue[sic] the damage abroad." took a
while for me to parse, as 'undue' would be proper in other areas of
the sentence and 'undue damage' is a common phrase. If an error can
jump out and confuse a reader, something is drastically wrong.
