WWCND?
my son received two glowing letters of recommendation from teachers for college, they both contain typos.

Re: WWCND?
Would it be wrong for you to contact the teachers instead of your son? That way if they're huffy about a mistake being pointed out it's against you rather than your son and won't have any impact on the rewrite.
This was the subject of a Dear Abby last week.

Oy. That's absurd - you'd think that teachers would proofread. Then again, I asked my college advisor and chair of the Sociology dept to write me a rec and there was a typo in it. I just let it slide because she had sent it to me a day before the deadline for applications even though I asked her for it about four months earlier (bitter much?).
I probably would just call the teachers and let them know, as Hezz said. I'd be surprised if they were even a little huffy about it.
I don't think I ever got to read my letters of recommendation. They were always sent directly to the people requesting them. I want to know how highly recommended I was.
Me too! My schools always required that either the people sent them directly or that, if I sent them, they were in sealed envelopes with the person's signature across the seal, presumably so that the person would feel he/she could be honest.
Same here. And because they had to be sent directly in, I didn't get into the honors program at UW because my AP US History teacher totally failed to write a letter after promising me that he had. "Oh, I just need to send that in!" After asking him several times, including the last day he could send it, and being told that he would, I got rejected because I was missing one letter of recommendation. When I asked him if he'd sent the letter, he said, "Oh, I still have to write that. When is it due again?" I'm 30 and I'm still annoyed about it.
OMG, that would annoy me forever too. That's awful.
Noisy, I would still be cheesed about that, too.
We never got to see our letters, either.
I don't even remember who wrote mine.
If you've just been given a copy, presumably haven't they been sent in already? Even the spelling stickler that I am, I don't think I'd hold it against a kid if their teacher had a typo.
