The worst typo in history

Another little gem from T.K.

A new young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the
other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not
from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to
question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy,
it would never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all
of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries,
but you make a good point, my son."
So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the
original manuscript is held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been
opened for hundreds of years.
Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes downstairs to look for him. He
sees him banging his head against the wall, and wailing "We forgot the "R",
We forgot the "R" !"
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.
The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father ?"
With a choking voice, the old abbot replies:
"The word is 'celebrate' ".<
