Working at an environmental consulting firm with lots of PUBLIC clients, I've seen a lot of similar typos.
This is pretty bad. The University of Texas (unlimited possibilities--haha!) printed this egregious typo in its commencement program: "The Lyndon B. Johnson School of Pubic Affairs."
As I work in the group responsible for editing the firm's documents, I would hope that we catch as many of these typos as possible. More often than not, though, they get caught just in the nick of time, since nearly everything is done on a quick timeframe and tight budget.
Another frequent typo with our pubic clients is inadvertently forgetting the "O" in "County."
Reason #123 why everyone needs an editor with eagle eyes.
