Mortage rules

If you're going to make an error in an article, the least you could do is keep it out of the headline - especially if it's a nonword. When I searched for mortage on dictionary.com, the first suggestion that came up was metage, which is "the official measurement of contents or weight". The word needed for the headline is mortgage. From "Mortage rules left alone for now" in 24 hours Vancouver on October 5, 2010.
