Curious.

I have to be careful.. I'm a fast typist with nearly a 100 wpm. It's not uncommon for me to strike more than one key at a time.

I have what I call my "Favorite Freudian Typo" ...

I have a tendency to accidentally type "Busty" for "Busy" ... the biggest problem? Oh ya, it actually makes sense in a sentence in most cases.

"Im sorry I didn't get your call, I was busty"
"Can we make it Saturday? I'm busty on Tuesday"
"I was so busty, I didn't get the dishes done!"

Oh ya, it's a bad one. haha.

One evening I was in Yahoochat and this dude IMed me, we were having a good chitchat convo...then I asked where he was from. He said he was from Utah and being from Utah, I was going to ask ''Are you a Mormon?'', but I made a typo and wrote ''Are you a Moron?''. OMG...I got so embarrassed I quickly corrected my typo and said ''Stupid typos''. He didn't mention anything or get mad, he just kept right on chatting. Thank God he was a cool dude, 'cause I was completely red in the face.

You know if this was a dumber world, someone would point out theres no difference between the two words.

Cheap shot, I know. hehe

2 spring to mind for me.

I was explaining in an email to my team that the onus was on them to ensure something was done, but I typed anus and the spell check obviously didn't pick it up. So I ended up telling my team the anus was on them... nasty thought...

In another letter to a client, my colleague typed the word count but missed out a letter and ended up with a very rude word! The error wasn't picked up so the letter went out like it. It wasn't til I checked my colleagues work the next day that I noticed it. I rang the reception of the company and asked the receptionist to stop the letter when it got there and chuck it out!

Luckily, she did manage to intercept it. I would have been so embarassed. That word is just mucky lol!

^^ lol!

I've had a few, but my most embarrassing one was over the word public - missed the l out

I used to be a secretary in the Civil Service and often added a pubic instead of a public.

Also, my mom always used to write to my uncle Brian, Dear Brain.

.....


Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?
The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

back when my daughter was about 7, she loved the "backstreet boys". she wanted me to find their webpage for her. i accidently typed in "backboys" instead & it pulled up a gay porn site.

I just made a bad typo and accidentally sent it to someone I'd rather have not sent it to. HAHA. Ooopsie.

We an application we use here at work that has "Studio" in its name. It's a clunky program very few people like using.

I just typed Application Stupido in an e-mail, rather than Application Studio. *sigh* I'll probably get spoken to about that typo since I was expressing my frustration for the application. Figures. LOL.

it's funny you should say that because (god love him) he's a bald, once red head who lives in Australia.... which makes him rather pink too. So he's Pinky AND the Brain.

I spent a while getting my biology final done, then when I was happy with it I printed off a copy and handed it in to my teacher. Great.

But I got it sent back to me the next day with the word that was supposed to say "organism" underlined by the teacher with LOL written next to it, because I missed two letters out. I've screwed that word up with presentations aswell.

Once when applying for annual leave, I sent an email to my boss requesting "anal leave."

I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time.

I couldn't stop laughing at the typos featured on this Thread

My husband used to frequent a particular Site and when in Chat one day, instead of typing the word "like", he substituted the "L" with a "K" and got banned for a week

I won't type the actual word but it is a derogatory term for Jews - even when it was pointed out to him, he didn't have a clue what they were on about, we had to look it up in the dictionary!

I just though of another one that I did a few years ago that was wildly embarassing since the e-mail I sent went out to over 5,000 recipients.

I work in software, and a few years ago I was in IT. One of the systems we use in IT networking services is called a DMZ. DMZ stands for: Demilitarized zone. (yes, it's a military term)

For some reason, I sent this huge company-wide email out about our network changes and hadn't realized that instead I'd typed:

Dematerialized Zone. I got a note back from our CEO that said something to the effect "While we are all StarTreck fans, I think you meant Demilitarized!" I was so embarassed I could feel my ears turning 4 shades of pink.

Let's just say, never made that typo ever again. LOL

I was telling my daughter about this Thread today and we were cracking up when I was relating some of the stories on here

Then she told me one she did herself. She was in some chatroom apparently and everybody was chatting away, suddenly my daughter felt very tired and typed in "I am knackered" - but instead of the word "knackered" she typed "naked"

Let's just say, the whole room went quiet for a few seconds and then bedlam broke out

I tell you, when she was telling me this I was crying, I wouldn't mind but we were walking along the street at the time, I nearly had to sit on the floor

I was posting about these "angry beasts" and my typo that was POSTED said "angry breasts" ... so humiliated about it THEN but now I LMAO about it Jody

Words I have learned not to use when writing/chatting:

FUNK
CON'T (short for continued)
CONK

The times when my fingers are not in tune with my brain have been too numerable to mention.

I think one of the worst I did was during a speech presentation when I was discussing the civil rights movement and I was using the word Negro to describe some of the signs that were put up by racist business owners. Then there were "quotes" of statements made by racists one of which had the N word in it. So then I went back to the speech and uh accidentally got them mixed up, well it didn't help that the instructor was black. It was really embarrassing.

On a side note I love it when people try to ridicule a poster on here for being stupid and make a spelling error whilst telling the idiot off. My favorite is when people misspell ridiculous as rediculous.


One more, my son when he was three had a habit of pronouncing the EEE sound much like Cheech Marin would. So he used to come up and say "I want to go to the playground where the beaches are"

He of course meant the public beaches but it never sounded like that's what he was saying for some reason.

One time i was writing typing a reply on a forum and my partner was feeling a little lets say frisky so she was talking dirty to me and well I was still typing and paying attention to her and typed in everything she said and pressed reply.


Lets just say I had violated the forums rules and was banned. Luckily my post was removed from there.

I once thanked someone for their massage, it should have read 'message'.

I was discussing black holes on a forum a while back.

I left out the L in one, and ended up saying something like "black hoes have been proven to exist, today we even have photographic evidence".

when you first said you'd missed the L out... my first thought was back holes....

One typo I always make when chatting is when I go to type something like "I'll be back in sec", I always type 'sec' as 'sex' because the c and x are right next to each other on the keyboard, and I'm conscious of that at the back of my mind when I'm about to type 'sec', and therefore majority of the time I'll hit the x instead. Back in high school, my friend made me laugh when she got up to do an oral presentation on octopi, and she was reading off her sheet of paper and managed to not only refer to organisms as orgasms, but tentacles as testicles.
