Weeky (for Weekly)
Today's typo is another example of omission of the letter "el" within the word. The "k" and "l" keys are adjacent on the keyboard; the touch typist may sense "... maybe I already typed that 'l' … so I'll type the 'y' key now." Not too many typists have trouble correctly keying the "kly" in Weekly because you will have a low probability of finding "weeky" in your catalog. Most of the records will be continuing resources, such as this title found in OhioLINK: The Wall Street Journal/National Business Employment Weeky. WorldCat has a few good examples in the title field: Yank, the army weeky and Weeky crop bulletin.
