10 Most Expensive Typos Ever

     Whether it’s the programmer making an error in writing the code or an accountant making a blunder in a contract agreement, some Grammar mistakes cost companies millions, if not billions, of dollars. Letters that change the identity of an organization, punctuation marks that change the meaning of a sentence or even spelling typo that makes the reader ignore the main details of an essay; all contribute to expensive blunders in history. Anyone can write a program code, but the ones that last are the ones that improve lives rather than make them miserable.

Many of these accidents require the vehicles to be trashed in the junkyard for parts. Some accidents are lucky enough to have a minimum collision damage to vehicles that may be repaired and placed for resale in car showrooms. However, the prices of these vehicles  depreciate  even before the relisting of the vehicles.
