Funny TYPOS

The letters T & G are far too close
to each other on a keyboard. rolleyes

It's probably wise not to end
a business email with 'Regards' anymore. neutral



Just sayin'

















What are your favorite typos?

spell check auto-correction can wreak havok too. someone here once ended a note with 'sorry for the incontinence'.

Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.

OK OK, this is stupid.

But I used to be what they called an Application Management and Deployment Engineer.

We basically took code/programs and wrote automatic installs scripts for them so users didn't need to interview. Then we pushed them over the network to our clients across the world.


Anyways, we had a severity "1" level issue once involving an application that was re-installing itself sporadically across the networks at ALL of our major sites affecting thousands of computers. This caused bandwith issues at many of our sites, and the slowing effect caused many applications to hang, which is an absolute no-no if you've got a call representative trying to verify customer account information or make a sell.


Anyways, my supervisor had to send out a morning report on the issue (which goes out to all of the heads of IT and many line of business managers). She wrote

We are still trying to figure out the SPERMmatic distribution of applications

I had no clue this took place as I hadn't checked my email that morning cause I was building a test site. Then I hear her walking down our isle and yelling "NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO RESPOND TO MY EMAIL. DON'T YOU DARE RESPOND!!!!" before dashing back into her office.

Of course, we immediately responded with statements like,

"We believe the application Prematurely distributed and are trying to ERECT a contingency plan. falloff


Yeah, we're nerds neutral

I had to send an email to a Doug Boone, I let spell check do it's thing and realised AFTER I'd hit send, it had changed his name to Dog Bone mad

On an unrelated note (about getting names wrong) a client at my first job sent me faxes to "Charlotte Webb" what an assumption to make lol his surname was Russell, so I assumed right back his first name was Jack hmph!

When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.
