Post by Peregrin Toker »

What''s the weirdest, most embarrasing, funniest or otherwise typo(s) you ever made???

I can list mine: For not so long ago, I mistakenly wrote "boobs" instead of "books".

"Thorguh" for "through."

A common dyslexia mistake for me: to say "bitch" whenever reading the word "witch" out loud. I honestly have to THINK about it.. and even then half the time it never works. And yes, I say "witch" when reading "bitch" out loud. Why that happens, I have no clue, because b and w are not related..

"Who're you" and forgetting the apostrophe.

"Annie's fuck shop" instead of "tuck shop" for an IT assignment years ago.

I misspelled my major on a resume once. I accidently added the misspelling to the dictionary in Word and did not catch it. I applied for several jobs in that field before noticing.

My typos are usually getting two letters in a work switched by quick typing, or accidentally hitting a letter adjacent to the one I wanted to type. Stuff like "yuo", "hte", or "tihs".

A few months ago, I was commenting that my Food Services teacher had the hardest time saying organism. In that same post, I wanted to write the sentence "She just keeps on wanting to say orgasm."

But I accidently skipped the "say" part.....

[edit] And appropriately enough, the topic was called "Poorly Worded Statements".

I make typos too much, I can't pick the worst one. I always leave out words and letters, even when i'm writing with my hand, it's weird. The most common one that's really emabarrasing is typing "about it" and putting the space after U instead of T.

I managed to type Urinus instead of Uranus in an astronomy essay I wrote a few years ago. :lol: I wonder if anyone besides me noticed...

I notice something: Every time I hit two letters at once, the letter I DON'T want practically always precedes the one I do want, with at least 98% probability. FUCKING ANNOYING, too! :evil: :evil:

After the last couple of days, Ein, I think it's time for you to buy a new keyboard. Sounds like even one of the $5 crapola-brand ones would be better!

Once wrote "just a sex" for "just a sec."

Not so funny, but it's something that pisses me off. Often type "Asuak" for "Asuka" while writing for my Eva fanfic.

just the usual replacing certain words with others when your not concentrating... IE, talking to a girl i like on msn, attempt to compliment her hair style but saying "i liked your tits today" instead...

although thats an extreme example, and i managed to catch myself before i pressed enter on the keyboard lol

I've said I'll when trying to say all or vice versa.
Most of my typos I catch when I'm watching my writing.

In addition to the "Asuak=Asuka" typing typo I mentioned above, I've noticed that when writing by hand, I almost always tend to write a "J" when I start "Shinji."

Must be my dyslexia. Or maybe I'm just a moron. :)

In a chat room, I was acting paranoid so I did "shifts eyes," but it turned out as "shits eyes." Everyone got a good laugh out of that one.
