Ya think with all the tax payer's money being used at least someone would double check the spelling on a simple invitation. This present administration is a dangerous fuck up.

No one flagged this to when the proof came in, all the way through to the printing and distribution of that batch.

When I worked in web management for a non-profit that put out reports, I often would give the text another once over, especially if it was produced in a short time, and flag anything that looked like it might be a typo before making it live, because I cared about how the organization was perceived.

Doesn't look like the case with the folks in the Office of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper.
