The Philadelphia 76ers recently found themselves in a bit of a typo-tastrophe on social media. After their game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the team's official X account posted the final score using a retro-themed font that made the word “final” look uncomfortably like something else: “anal.” Fans were quick to spot the unfortunate blunder, and the jokes came rolling in.

 

 

The post was meant to inform followers of the 76ers' 125-99 loss to the Clippers, but instead, the focus shifted to the peculiar but priceless font choice. 

 

The 76ers haven't commented publicly on the mishap, but they did take swift action by removing the post. Of course, that didn't stop fans from taking screenshots, ensuring the kerning catastrophe lives on far beyond its original context.
