Typos of the Week, August 2 through August 8

While some words simply lend themselves to typos, one might also argue that writing questions that generate the largest number of typos is a hosting skill. I would thus like to give credit to those hosts who inspire the most in us as players who aim for quality in our answers over such trivial details as proper spelling.

The name slowly came to be associated with the fastener itself, and eventually acquired generic status. The word "zipper" describes the sound the fastener makes.
