Typo

1. The one instance of a particular word in what you've written that will bring out stampeding herds of duh-weebs to point out to you the correct spelling of the word - and a few more incorrect ways to spell it - even though every other instance of the word is spelled correctly.

2. A correctly spelled word that illiterate duh-weebs are unfamiliar with, and will mistake for misspellings of other words.

3. The reason why spell-checkers were invented.
1. "The correct spelling of yelow is yellow."

"Maybe that's why I spelled it that way the other 36 times I used that word."

2. "You left the P out of homepage."

"If I had wanted to call my homage a homepage, I would have."

3. "I spell everything correctly! I use a spell-checker!"

"Spell-checkers don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, and neither do you."

% Daily recommended allowance

An experimental 1980 dietary guide based upon the Pritikin Diet fad diet published in 1979.
% Daily recommended allowance is even worse than the Food Guide Pyramid because it promotes eating 5 out 7 servings of food in the form of carbohydrates without even suggesting that the carbohydrates should come from more than one source.
