I'm absolutely brilliant at typos. I'm sure people have noticed this by now. It makes me look like I can't spell but the truth is more that I can't type properly and fail to spell check before hitting send. I really should do better.
What is the worst typo you've ever sent and did it get you in trouble?
What is your most common typo?

I'm dyslexic and put so much faith in spell check. Once I wrote an end of year report for a child and it said I "genitally encouraged" the child instead of gently lol.
I check, check again and then check to be sure these days ;-p |

Me too!  is too close to  and it can make a massive difference to how your reply is perceived too.
My iPhone is also an arsehole on WhatsApp/Kik sometimes too! |

There was a funny one doing the rounds recently, it was a sign at a Tesco bakery that said
"Bakery closed due to staff" shortage.
Sorry for any incontinence caused"

Oh fuck. As an late english learner, I have made millions of them. Sometimes typo, sometimes my ignorance.
Sorry for the typos, all. I am trying my best. |

Best spelling mistake on a sign I've seen was one on a school window that had misspelt the word phonics. I had to point it out to the teachers. That was fun. |

Folks shitting themselves at the thought of a bread shortage. Or pissing themselves at the sign. |

Not so much a word Typo, but at a hotel Reception desk a few years ago, I typed in a guest's bill amount into the credit card terminal.
Instead of (£) 540.50, I typed in 54500.00. The amount was rejected of course, then it was calming down the customer first before successfully entering the correct amount. |

At work years ago I looked up at the screen to find I'd typed the word bigger slightly wrong. The letters b and n are next to eachother on the keyboard.
Even though no-one saw the screen I felt awful about it. Was so glad I noticed |

I'm the same as you. Perfectly capable of spelling but I type fast, don't proof read and my eyesight is pretty awful so I'm pretty much guaranteed a mistake in every post. I figure people get the just usually. |

Kids never seemed to notice

Whenever I answer ‘don’t’ quickly my phone types ‘do it’… so yes, that’s a problem sometimes.  |
