Worst typo / spelling mistake you've ever made or seen?

[Redundant Gigolo]

Today I was lucky enough to have a whatsapp chat with a lady I've been hoping to meet.

She likes dogs.

I meant to reply that there's never been a dog I don't like.

In my rush to respond I accidentally put a w rather than a d in dog.

She's blocked me. Understandably I suppose.

Do any other NSCers have stories of unfortunate, rushed typing that has had disappointing consequences?

This is why you are redundant?

Correct. That and I'm a shit shag

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Correct. That and I'm a shit shag

But your honesty is thoroughly commendable.

I once suggested in an email to a client that we might be able to offer them a discoc*nt.

As you can see I am an expat living in Bristol. You may get from the odd overly done by actor accent that some people in these parts have a, shall we say, somewhat agricultural accent. Diminishing but still there. Apart from the rounded vowels, there is a tendency to use singular rather than plural.

You might also recall the quaint machines called dictaphones. I am told nether regions of the NHS still use them. They were common in the dark ages of 1980s and 1990s.

I worked for a company called Bakers Dolphin (don't even try it's too difficult) based in Weston super Mud and one day our MD received a lovely letter of praise from a satisfied local business man who ended the letter (as written presumably by his secretary):

"I have tawld all my friends they should use Baker Dawlfin."

A member of my family who is involved with a fundraising group once sent out a document to various people and groups (including the Lord Lieutenant and High Sheriff) with a list of the dates and events at which the group would be present.

Said document should have been entitled 'List Of Public Events', but unfortunately the missing 'l' in the third word was not spotted until after sending.

once went to text my ex mrs that the "F**king cat's got a strop on". Only, instead of strop, I put Strap. Very embarrassing, as she was doing a presentation on her ipad and a projector at the time.

With each of these, I'm looking down at my keyboard to see if you can be forgiven for accidentally cocking up, of if the errors are intentional

Can we include misuse of English in this thread?
I've just had to mark an essay by a foreign student about construction projects. I'm still working out how to tell him that you have to be very careful how you use the word erection.

Only this morning I tried to send a text to my partner saying "I love you", but I accidentally typed "You've ruined my life, you bitch"

A while ago coming home from London on a Friday night, I thought I would do something nice for Mrs P, so sent her a text saying "Shall I pick up a take away and a bottle of wind"
