Probably nothing.
If you'd actually scrutinize the Happy Talk page, you'd notice that quite a number of quotes have spelling, grammatical or punctuation errors.
Seeing how the quotes on that page are probably taken from Fan Submissions, it similarly probably means nothing, besides the fact that they didn't bother to actually correct any of them before posting them on the site.
And pardon me for asking, but where did we ever find out anything through typos before? Do you mean for Cloverfield specifically, or for ARGs in general? I don't remember anything, but then again, I haven't seen much. Please refresh my memory.

ir has already been decided that they are not fan submitted. but they could have used bad speeling on purpose.
according to 01-18-08.despoiler.org (a website created by this forum)
"There is also a hat for sale. In the original image for the hat, the Slusho tagline read, "You Can't Just Drink Six!!" instead of the correct tagline, "You Can't Drink Just Six!!" The original image was also thought to contain steganography. The new image does not show any hidden data."
so we didnt really find anything but we were close

It was never really decided, whilst a number of people had passionately argued over the comments being created by the people running the campaign... and plenty arguing that they were fan made, it's never really been proven one way or the other as to whether they were fan-made or not, or a mixture of fan made and puppet-master made.
The jury's still out so it's not impossible to think the spelling errors were genuinely made by those who submitted them. But I digress.

Wasn't it in -- A Series of Unfortunate Events-- that the kids put together the missing letters in a note to give them the clue. So this line of reasoning is valid, although I haven't tried it myself yet.

Well as you said yourself, there was nothing, so where did your "we found something through typos before what about this" come from?
Right now there's nothing really much to work on. If you want to ponder the MYSTERIOUS EXTRA 'N', be my guest. But I think, save your time, move on. =p

...who still believes "YOUR Happy Talk" isn't fan-submitted messages to SatoshiSPLAT slusho.jp?
Over at IMDB, the same day that "YOUR Happy Talk" came online (shortly after JJ's Comic-Con appearance), there were at least two threads devoted to people pointing out that "hey, that's what I wrote to Satoshi back when we were trying to get him/it to respond with something other than "Slusho!!! Loves your mails!!! Bet you can't drink just six!!!"

Meh....
You know what would be *really* confounding, though...? Suppose "YOUR Happy Talk" IS primarily fan messages...but JJ sprinkles it with one or two LEGITIMATE clues in there that give away the whole shebang...
...Now THAT would be just devious.

I was thinking about that once I saw the title of this thread. It was from "The Wide Window", the third book in the series. It would definitely be a clever puzzle. And, if one takes in account what brettoniasam said, with the idea of the Happy Talk being a mix of fan submited and PM, clue-having messages, this could be an excellent way to make sure the clues aren't too easy for us to find out. If the PM/whoever the hell is running this whole thing is "corrupting" the clues with fan submited stuff, I would laugh due to the fact that the clues to the whole project have been sitting in front of us most of the time, although we refuted them because we were arguing over the ligitimacy of the Happy Talk.

That would be the kind of thing one would call being played games with.
Everybody loves a game, right?

But first we would need to know what order to put clues in. I have noticed that at least 4 keep poping up to me. the above mentioned one shows up the most often and that is how I noticed the "typo".

After re-reading this post and thinking about the happy talk I went and re-read all the happy talks and looking for ones that sound familiar, one mentioned the Thames river whale, a whole bunch of people keep talking about the "whale monster theory" and looked up thames river whale in wikipedia. from there I found a link to Tama-chan. which sounded pretty japanese, and you know slusho is fairely Japanese. and look what it says
"In March 2003, a group calling themselves "Society That Thinks About Tama-chan", attempted to capture Tama-chan with fishing nets in order to send it back to arctic waters with the help of a little-known US-based group called "Marine Animals Lifeline". A doomsday cult called Pana-Wave Laboratory which was revealed to be behind this group, pseudoscientifically thought that electromagnetic waves led the seal astray, and also that returning the seal to arctic waters would somehow "save the world from destruction". The cult had even built two swimming pools to keep the animal until it could be transferred.
The (illegal) attempt failed. Tama-chan disappeared out of sight a few days later. When Tama-chan reappeared in Naka-gawa River in Tokyo, with a fishing hook embedded in the right eyebrow, it made national headline news, and Japan's Environment Minister was asked questions as to the well-being of the animal."
Isnt that interesting?
Oh, and the whale has not been returned to the Artic.
DOOMSDAY AHHHHH
