Typos: May Buccaneer Bowl Edition

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the fifth Buccaneer Bowl, and congrats to the Triviators for their third all-time win. I've just combed through the log from the event to find the best typos. I wanted to find the best one from each question, but there were some questions with almost none. "Elections," "Andes," and "Jefferson" seem to be pretty typeable. "Australia," "modus operandi," and "baba ghannouj"... not so much. And for that last one, it's not even just because there are about seventeen different ways to spell it correctly... it really did generate some serious mistakes.

There was too much typoage to rank these, so I've just left them in the order in which they occurred. I invite you to pick out your favorites and comment on them or to volunteer any from other times in the week. Remind yourselves of what these were supposed to look like from the list after the photo.
