Found this on RawStory (linked on Facebook). It could just be a typo, though. A Google search yielded “world of words” only. What do you all think?
“A Wisconsin restaurant owner plugging her place of business on the La Crosse Foodie Facebook page set off a word of words with a local Tea Party member who objected to her profile picture using a rainbow filter indicating her support for the LGBT community.”

“Typo†maybe, but not a fingerslip. More like anticipation of an important word one is planning to use. (There are many such errors, but they show up in spoken language and handwritten documents, and have little to do with the typing process per say .)
