had me in tears

 

my most common is "meat" instead of "meet"

if i see any interesting ones i'll post them.

I hate autocorrect! I end up having to undo half of the things it "corrects." One time I was playing this MMORPG on my phone, and I dueled someone. They won, and I type "Gf" which is short for "good fight." That somehow came out as "Bs."

[PlutoIsHades]

In Mandarin class, our teacher gives us word banks to study from. We were learning the names of different languages in Mandarin.

One of the English translations read "Frech".

[Rainstarkitty]

The funniest one of mine was recent, but it wasn't typed or anything, I was talking to someone about my uncle.

I said "he liked to light the railroad tracks on fire to watch the fire****s come"

I meant to say firetrucks. I laughed so hard after I said that.

And my sister was texting once and tried to say she was hungry but said she was hingry instead.

 

Dun ban me for saying a censored word please.

 

Blessed Be! ~Rain

I named one of my dragons 'Theater', and now Word is saying it's spelt 'Theatre', which doesn't look right to me...

[Brite]

I was texting my guyfriend last night. Before you read, the last thing I meant to say was "How are you doing?" I still have the order saved in my phone. Here's what happened:

 

Me: Hello, are you there?

 

Micheal: Ah sorry, I just got off work. I should've told you earlier.

 

Me: Nah it's fine. How was it?

 

Micheal: Sh***y. I hate my boss.

 

Me: I'm sorry..Who are you doing?

 

Micheal: ....What?

[TLOSpyrogirl]

I named one of my dragons 'Theater', and now Word is saying it's spelt 'Theatre', which doesn't look right to me...

That's the British spelling.

[Ruins]

I'm British, and it still doesn't look right. >__>;

[TLOSpyrogirl]

You must not be British enough. xP How do you spell 'center'? If you respond with 'center', then you're not British enough. XDDD

[Ice_SW]

Centre~ Grey~ Colour~ Theatre~

[Ruins]

Centre- Grey- Colour- Theater- Tea- Top Hat- Cake- What Ho, Jeeves

[TLOSpyrogirl]

Fish 'n chips?

Or was that Australia...?

[AngelKitty]

For some reason, typoes that I make seem to turn into injokes. >_>

 

One that I made a few years ago was "udding." This was back when I was a General Grievous fangirl, and I was talking to a friend of mine at the time about the Kaleesh and their culture, and somehow we got onto the subject of pudding. I mistyped it as "udding" at one point, and my friend took it and ran with it in an epic way. Udding became a Desert Kaleesh god, and had a whole cult devoted to him with ridiculous commandments and everything ("thou shalt not turn left at right signal," etc.). It was hysterical. I haven't spoken to her in a long time and I kind of miss her now, actually...

 

Another one that I made more recently was during a discussion of a character in a story me and a friend were writing, Larnell, who is a Duke and a huge jerk. We tend to poke fun at this character on the best of days, just because he's a deplorable, abusive person, but when I mistyped "Duke Larnell" as "Uke Larnell" one day...yeah, you can imagine where it went from there.

fosh n choips is new zealand

 

i keep saying swet instead of sweet. causing my friends a fari few giggles

 

oh and my early morning texting

i'll have to borrow my friends phone in order to copy that, it is seriously a mash

[littleangelamy22]

Oh I actually wrote a typo out with a pen today, I was'nt paying attention. Uncomcomfortable'.

[Aquenee]

I was expressing my hatred over one certain emoticon.

 

I wrote 'emoticorn.'

Corn~!

[gistofeverything]

Copypasta instead of copypaste -my keyboard's small, and I make more typos than I can imagine...

[key-the-kitty]

But... but... copypasta!

 

I saw the "sweet" one and it reminded me of how I tend to mis-type/write sweet and sweat... so sometimes I have something like, "That tasted sweat!" ;p

[RotomGuy]

I remember a couple i've done.

I remember I tried to write I grated some cheese and cut my finger, but I wrote:

"I was using a graper to cut cheese and instead I cut my finger"

 

Then when I came back from my holiday I typed:

"I've got jetfag."

 

And the time I was trying to make an argument about how many bones were in the body.

"Look, you have more boners than that!"

[tanglepelt3]

I've made a lot of silly typos, but I can't remember any.

[sparkdragon]

Replace the 'u' in Psyduck with 'i'. >:T I'm still getting laughed at for that one.

[Walker]

I was just typing a post and put fail instead of jail.

 

This made my day. It was a fail.

[Stunningfire]

Not that funny, but instead of "no patience" our LA teacher typed "mo patience" on our vocab thing. It doesn't sound that funny now. ;-; But I still laughed like crazy.

[-platinum-draco-]

Oh wait, here is a particularly ironic case!

 

Before our typical standardized testing, our teacher handed us out a sheet on proofreading. Let me quote one interesting section: "Read out load one more time."

 

 

[nefhiriel]

*mad gigglefits* Love this thread. I've made some real doosies, myself.

 

Mistakes that I've made that still make my editor giggle:

 

"Treestops" instead of "treetops." (Someday I'd love to see someone's interpretive drawing of exactly what a "treestop" looks like. )

 

"Virgin City" instead of "Virginia City."

 

I blame it on dyslexia--or that equally bothersome lysdexia. I can totally sympathize with others who mention "verbal typos." I transpose my words especially when I really feel strongly about something. Which is just...mortifying. *palmface*

 

On one occasion I said: "As the flow cries," instead of "As the crow flies." Which I thought was kind of an intriguing non sequitur, actually.

 

Also, very aptly, I've called a "blinking curser" a "cursing blinker." This, from a writer who clearly has known Teh Angst of creativity (and that rude, vulgar, cursing blinker just sits there and thumbs its nose at me!).

 

In the world of autocorrect... I apparently go by "Ned" instead of "Nef."

 

It'll be a miracle if I didn't just create an ironic type somewhere in the above post.

 

Edit: I made I typo in my last paragraph, which I think I'll leave, if only to provide someone an LOL at my expense. Double (triple?) irony, Oy ve.
