One of these quotable quotes is “Our DNA is as a consumer company – for that inpidual customer who’s voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That’s who we think about." Inpidual? Gets about 12,000 Google hits, I read a bunch of them and still can't figure out what it is for, as opposed to what it means. It means, it seems, "individual" but what's the difference? Is there some nuance of difference between individual and inpidual? Or did this just start off as someone's typo, like pwn, and become a fad? Has OED got this? Anybody?

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"––a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
