I just sent off two resumes, one with a typo in the cover letter. AWESOME.
I think my letter for this (editing) job had a typo. You never know.
ETA: Okay, "Ms." not so great.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Oops. Well, you can still correct, you know.
I think someone kidnapped my introvert. I'm actually looking forward to inviting people over for drinks on the deck some day this week after work. Even work peoples. Normally the idea of work peoples in my house makes me scream. And I miss my UK travelling companions. Hmph.

Sounds fun, Sara! You can be an introvert and still social, you know...
So, seriously -- should I send a corrected letter? I can't decide which way looks worse.

Send the correction. It shows you can admit to errors and fix them.

UPS came with dresser. I unpacked it from the evil Russian nesting doll packaging (package within a box within a box). Wiped it down. Put clothes in it. Took boxes out back and stomped on them.
Dresser is on the small side, but hey, it's here and it's done, and certainly got a full body workout.

What is up with the nesting? My globe came in something likt 57 boxes. For 9 pieces.
