Once a BBO commentator was commentating on a ladies match. At a late point of a certain board's play, he probably meant to say something like this: "She has a complete count."

Unfortunately the last word was missing one important letter...
I just discovered a truly remarkable bidding system!
Sadly, this margin was too small to contain it.

I was working on a new shopping center project about 7 years ago. I sent out an email to about 300 people whom I wanted to attend a Public Hearing.

Public had a letter missing. No prizes for guessing which one.

There is also the classic self-defeating signage instruction during an election:

No. 1
Vote So and So.

Perhaps using the # would have been preferable to describe the candidate's status?
