Aprotypo

In Peter Bergen's column in today's NY Times about how great things are going in Afghanistan, he provided a good example of something we call an "aprotypo"--an apropos typo (often caused by a Freudian slip):

"Undeniably, the drug trade is a serious concern (it now compromises about a third of the country's gross domestic product) and the slow pace of disarming the warlords is worrisome."

We're pretty sure Bergen meant "comprises," not "compromises," but one never knows...
