A spokesperson from the UNT Division of Student Affairs announced today that the school is currently developing a plan to include a “fairly embarrassing” typo in an upcoming mass email to its entire student body.
“We’re still figuring out the details, but I can confirm that the typo will be obvious to an overwhelming majority of the student body, even if they can’t read too good,” said spokesperson Donald Wilcox.
According to the university, the content of the typo is still undetermined, but some promising concepts have already emerged by researching the school’s vast catalog of previous typos, such as these specimens below:
“We might make the typo right in the subject line of the email, so you can see that we fucked up without even opening it,” Wilcox explained. “If we do that, we’ll also make sure to put it in the first couple of words, so students will notice our sheer incompetence even if they’re checking email on their phones.”
English Department President Deborah Sneed said that while rampant typographical errors are not generally considered proper for professional correspondence, she believes that the typo plan is “a bold move” for the university.
“Students at UNT have come to expect dropped apostrophes, bizarre capitalization, needless punctuation and outright misspellings in the emails they receive from practically every department of this university,” Sneed said. “By planning out the next typo in advance, the administration of this school is simply maintaining a laughable, ham-fisted sort of consistency.”
