I think you will find that this is deliberate and comes from the following Classic...

Sign I spotted on the door of the sauna at Withdean gym one morning last Autumn: "SAUNA WILL BE CLOSED FOR ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE ON WEDNESDAY 14TH OCTOBER FROM 6AM TO 1PM. APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONTINENCE CAUSED"

Not a typo but I have twice been included in email trails as a horrified observer where somebody has been comprehensively slagged off in an email (the first a customer and the second a business partner) and the person has been copied in to the email trail later on, with all the history clearly visible. I had the honour of pointing this out to the perpetrator on both occasions. Interestingly (to me), the first one, who has insulted the customer, wasn't at all bothered but the second one put his head in his hands in despair.

Many years ago I had to arrange promotion tastings in a number of supermarkets, mainly in the Midlands and 'oop North. Part of this process was to phone the relevant supermarket to agree dates and times, and then to confirm in writing. So far, so good. However, one particular supermarket was in deepest, darkest Dudley. When I phoned I spoke to someone with the strongest Black Country accent imaginable. Three times I asked for the name of the manager to ensure that I'd heard correctly. Assuming that I had, I sent off the confirmation letter to Mrs. Manly-Cock.
A few days later, and to my horror, I was informed that her name was in fact Mandy Cook.

My brother is a TEFL teacher in Italy. The word for 'heard' in Italian is 'sentito'. It is also the word for 'felt'.
Teaching a group of teenagers after the summer holidays, he asked them to tell the class, in English, what they had been up to. One girl stood up and said "I stayed on a farm. It was very peaceful. Every morning I woke up and felt the farmer's cock."

This text went out from a primary school that was doing the rounds this past Easter:

One of our managers at a last job instead of sending "here's your data counts for today" sent "here's your data ***** for today" to our blue chip client

I sent an email to my staff asking them to keep an eye on the 'incident c**t' (number of failures) and I got a number of responses either telling me my mistake or asking who he was....

Not really a typo or mistake, but I thought this might give you a chuckle :
Down here in Southampton there used to be a Brannigans Bar (now closed). On one particular night a massive fight took place in the bar and resulted in police arresting and charging the offenders. When the case came to court it was reported on by the local rag - the Echo.
Part of the report concerned a witness describing his version of events which went : "As I left the toilet I got hit by a flying stool."

I had one the other day that really shook me up, I messaged a friend asking if his birthday party was going ahead this time after a previous cancellation and he replied "really sorry got cancer again due to work and money"
