In 2006, the New York City Department of Education made a mistake in their bookkeeping. Apparently, there was a misspelling that had a word with one extra letter. This word was not readable by their accounting system and, somehow, that system decided to therefore spend twice as much on transportation. That year, $2.8 million was spent instead of the budgeted $1.4 million. The city had to come up with the money to replace it.
