Having second thoughts about our decision

Yesterday we were rather excited that the search for someone to do our little yard project was over. I mean after all, the guy seemed eager to do the work. We did find out that he is setting up the business for his son. So the dad will do any work that comes in until then. But that's not what worries me....
I picked up the business card to move it and I glanced at it one more time and was shocked at what I read. To weed eat is the same thing as to weed whack. It means to use a particular piece of equipment to gt rid of weeds. However, on the business card it says:
'Weed waking'
I told my husband about the typo and he laughed, then we both laughed for quit a while. Now I am wondering if I should point out this mistake to the guy when he shows up tomorrow....maybe say something like, "Gee, I hope you didn't have thousands of these business cards printed since you spelled whacking wrong."
Do I mentioned the typo or let him live with it?

I'd let it go unless you can bring it up in a funny way in conversation. Maybe it's not a typo and he wakes up the weeds when he whacks them??

Since he showed up a day early (had a cancellation) we were so happy to get it over with I put the error out of my mind.

He came a day early and we were so happy that I decided to keep quiet about the 'waking'...he was tortured enough here.

@AbbyGreenhill Mine appear to have no intention of sleeping.

@AbbyGreenhill All that works with mine is mowing them, after which they naturally spring up again. They seem to thrive on weed killer.

I'd probably let it go... How many other people would even notice the typo ... ?

It's a tough one isn't it? Normally I'd tell them but then you think about how many of these 'wrong' cards he might have sitting around and you wonder if you should just keep quiet.

Probably 90-95 percent of the people in this county won't know it's a typo - sad.
