Fans have taken to social media to post pictures of a typo on their Taylor Swift merchandise!
On the clothing, the first word of the lyric from Taylor’s latest single ME! ‘You’re the only one of you, Baby that’s the fun of you’ is mis-spelt ‘your’e’.
The blunder is all the more entertaining given the song also contains the line: “Hey, kids! Spelling is fun!”

NASA Mariner 1 missing hyphen
Mariner 1 has a mission to get as close as it can to Venus. Due to one of the most expensive typos in the history, it had never reached the Earth atmosphere.

One missing hyphen! Think twice before typing something.
