A colleague of mine made one that wasn't a typo, but caused by language problems. Norwegian and Swedish are so close that they might be compared to dialects in other languages, so we never 'translate', but undertand the other directly. There are some orthographic differences, such as Norwegian spelling 'economical' with a slashed o, 'økonomisk', while the Swedes us an (unslashed) o: 'ekonomisk'.

In the days of 7-bit ASCII only email, there was not room for the 'ø', and rewriting it as 'oe' in emails. We did a development project with a Swedish company, and my colleague wrote an evaluation of three different alternatives, concluding that one of the alternatives were clearly the most economical, 'økonomisk', 'oekonomisk'. Now the problem is that in Swedish, 'o-' as a prefix is like 'un-' in English, and the Swedes objected strongly to the identified alternative being the most un-economical...
