When it comes to typos and spelling, everyone makes mistakes... even the White House.

In a White House press release sent Tuesday evening, there's a misspelling, and it's a big one: The first lady's first name.

"Michele and I are deeply saddened by the loss of life, injuries, and damage that have occurred as a result of the recent earthquake and tsunami in West Sumatra," reads the release.

Of course, the first lady's first name is spelled "Michelle," with two "l"'s

I guess I should contact the WH press office and suggest my mnemonic for remembering the proper spelling:

"Two 'L' with Michelle"

Very easy to remember, I think of it every time I see her. Of course I think of "Two 'L' with Baraq" every time I see her husband, and he doesn't have any L in his name, but whatever works...
