As a fellow scribbler, your mole understands the gut-punching shame of making a massive typo and readers noticing, but the Washington Post Express has outdone us all with its cover today:

The paper hastily deleted the tweet of its cover and apologised on its Twitter feed. With another typo.
They deleted that too, bless ’em.
To be fair to the team, they can’t be that ham-fisted, as they designed a replacement cover within 45 minutes of tweeting the error:
This is how the cover should have looked. We apologize for the mistake. pic.twitter.com/MKKOkHPV8T
