"Untied States" (which appears in OhioLINK 21 times) is a classic
typo and one I just stumbled across in the 2007 book published by McFarland,
Fool's Gold: Why the Internet Is No Substitute for a Library. (This case in point could similarly be called "Why Spell Check Is No Substitute for a Proofreader.")
Unted is found 17 times in OhioLINK, with
unt itself popping up in the dictionary as another word for the European mole. (Here's one looking utterly unty, and in a thoroughly untied state, courtesy of photographer David Cole.)
