For ten years now (đ), in July, my bank has been sending me notifications about transactions on my accounts with the French name for the month, âjuilletâ, misspelled as âjullietâ:
Madame, Monsieur,
Un dépÎt de 1 024,00 $1 a été effectué dans votre compte bancaire Foo-000 le 03 julliet 2013. Tous les détails concernant cette opération se trouvent ci-dessous :
Compte : Foo-000
Montant du dépÎt : 1 024,00 $

I notified that bank multiple times across several years, to no avail.
A beloved ex-colleague, during a short stunt and while we were discussing how large organizations can manage their growth, once started a sentence with âlet me tell you why this typo will never be fixedâ. I donât remember the specifics, but I believe this was the start of a discussion on bureaucracies, and the outcomes they optimize for. Swift low-impact changes not being one of them.
