Tuesday Morning Open Thread: Unfried Freudian Slip Edition

Open Thread

Is it a simple typo, or a Freudian slip?

"Unfried" is apparently not the word that the MSN Money folks meant to use when saying that "Unfriend" was the Oxford English Dictionary's 2009 "Word of the Year."

So, does that mean that the folks at OED will have to unfriend the MSN Money writer, or will they click "unfried" and help clarify things for apparently addled copywriter?

Should this matter to anyone who's not on Facebook?

What other examples of interesting typos and possible Freudian slips have you come across recently?

Happy Tuesday -- This is an Open Thread.

Hat-tip to EMERSONHOST of DelphiForums for the catch.

Yeah, I want two orders of extra crispy, one regular and four unfried, a bucket of sides, four moon pies and an order of rooster lips. Oh, yeah, and a 2 liter bottle of RC Cola.

I see "Open Thread"
