The idea for today's typo blog entry comes straight
from FOM, otherwise known as the
Fraternal Order of Maoi. This organization is a tiki-happy, slightly tongue-in-cheek social club and fraternal order, founded in 2005. Its original goal was to preserve the local history and artifacts of the erstwhile Kahiki Supper Club in Columbus, Ohio. If you too like tiki
tchotchkes, check out the
Archie McPhee store, which has been known to carry such products for all your Polynesian party needs.
Fom (which is usually a typo for
from, but could also be for
for or even
form) turned up 140 times in OhioLINK, with "too many records found for your search" in WorldCat. A good percentage of these were false positives (acronyms and foreign words), but in any event, this is not a typo to back away
from.
