9. A real-life misprint of that type:
One of the colleges I taught at had a chaplain who sent in badly handwritten notices announcing events such as Bible study or special services to the office that published the daily campus bulletin.

One day, he wrote a memo to announce a special Communion service for Holy Thursday.

There were two problems: 1) His handwriting was as bad as ever, 2) This was in overwhelmingly secular Oregon, where, for several generations, about 2/3 of the population has had no religious affiliation and is often unfamiliar with religious vocabulary, as I found in several encounters over the years.

The announcement was published as "a special Communism service."
