A Compilation of Meaningful and Meaningless Typographical Errors on
Blindness and Visual Impairment
Corinne Kirchner

For decades, a little-known "research project" has been underway at the
American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) to collect the most outrageous and
humorous typographical errors related to visual impairment. The effort has
resulted in a bursting folder of source materials filed in the author's
office. Although an important source of the data has been articles submitted
to the Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness (JVIB), especially those not
published, there have been other unexpectedly fruitful sources: grant
proposals, books, speeches, newspapers, inquiries received by telephone, and
envelopes.
