Guests invited to Trump's 'State of the Uniom' after ticket typo



Guests to President Trump’s first State of the Union were instead invited to his “state of the uniom,” after a typo was printed on the tickets.

Tickets to the event predominantly feature the typo, according to a screen capture of a ticket obtained by The Hill.

An address by Donald Trump is a highly effective nighttime sleep aid.

of how proofreading seems to be a lost art. Let's face it, folks, how many articles do you read on reputable news sites (Breitbart obviously excluded) that are chock full of typos? And I'm not talking about "their" or "there" for "they're" or "who" for "whom", but stuff that no spellcheck program would ever let slide.

Maybe I'm just too damned picky about this, but to me it is the sign of an uneducated, lazy mind.

To me it's unclear if they actually meant to use the word "predominantly" there, or if it should have been "prominently."
