The word is spelled correctly later in the email however, showing that this is probably just a typo- either that or written by two different people with different views on how to spell this word :)

Groupon Email Spelling Error
I received my daily offer from Groupon this morning and discovered, in addition to '74% off Laser Lipo', I could also purchase "Collegen" face masks. As you will see, 'collagen' has been spelled incorrectly. This spelling mistake is on the email header, the first thing everyone sees when they go into their emails - bit of a mistake there!

Confused.com Article
Dear all - it's been a while, apologies, I've been so busy, but I have still been taking notes of all the errors I come across which have been stored on a Word document, complete with print screen shots for you :-)
However I will go against the grain and start with the most recent discovery. The error itself is in an article I was directed to from a Confused.com email I received this morning. The article was about the potential EU ruling, which may conclude that higher car insurance prices for men are sexist - don't even get me started on that!
Anyway, the screen shot I took is as follows:

The picture is huge so you can read it :) Both small errors are in the first line of the last paragraph of the article:
"If you are due to renew a motor insurance get a quote quote ahead of the 1 March ruling."
As you can see, the 'a' should ideally be 'your' and the second 'quote' is redundant and probably just an oversight.
If you would like to read the whole article, it can be found here

FairFX email
I received an email from FairFX today telling me about their refer-a-friend offer they have on right now. I was almost at the end of the email before I spotted the error:
Just to remember to explain to the people that your share your voucher code or link with that we’ll waive the normal new card order fee of £9.95* PLUS give them an extra £2.50** if they load more than £250 in their first transaction.
The first highlighted word above shouldn't be there, an accidental addition to the sentence.
The second highlighted word should read 'you' rather than 'your'. Another simple mistake.
Come on people, where are your checkers?

Error - NHS Discounts Email
A culprit yet again! Tut tut
Make sure you use you benefits and visit NHS Discounts electricals for the latest prices. Products change weekly
The above sentence should read 'Make sure you use your benefits...'
Silly mistake

Spelling Error - Groupon email
Hello again
Today's error was from an email I received from Groupon:
Today's error was from an email I received from Groupon:
Organic Vegatable Delivery
This was part of the title of the email. Apart from the fact that 'VEGETABLE' is spelt wrong, there was nothing in the email about organic vegetable delivery, whatever way they spelt it! I noticed however that in today's Groupon email, the same service was advertised but they had reduced the title to organic veg delivery. Who knows whether that is because they realised the spelling mistake, or they were just trying to use less characters.
