Not sure, I corrected each of them few seconds later. (I can't possibly be the first person to make that error, anyway... but still.)

My employer went on a tear when they realized it had been typed incorrectly over a dozen times on our web site.

Note who I work for :p

So no, you're obviously not the first, and won't be the last. Regardless, you can't worry about that now.

Good luck!

Oh my.

Knowing you, I'm sure you impressed them anyway. And if they didn't catch the spelling mistake, then they weren't paying attention.
