Instinks. Bloody instinks. I can't stop giggling.

Yes I know people have dyslexia etc, but surely autocorrect should have helped her out here?

I saw 'maskentape' the other day. Loved it. Obviously meant to be 'masking tape'.

DappledThings · 13/03/2020 10:00

Dappled what?! Auto cation? Altercation?

Yep, was meant to be altercation!

I'm an editor so I see all sorts of gems.

My favourite of all time is "Ass Burger's Syndrome".

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 13/03/2020 11:10

I have ass burgers syndrome Grin I ate too many burgers and they went to my ass.

I'm allowed to make that joke because I actually have Asperger's Grin

This was a notice in my local council offices. It took all my willpower to not say anything.

Oh dear. (It's a misspelled word one)
HerRoyalCarbyLess · 13/03/2020 13:08

One of my colleagues confused the word Regina on a court document with a similar sounding word once.

Somanysocks · 13/03/2020 13:21

Haha, I really thought about it but they could have retaliated by losing my paperwork. 😁

I had a penfriend who wrote "spelling is not my fortay".

JE17 · 13/03/2020 13:29

Received an email once asking for the return of all "visitors badgers".

@Somanysocks, you were deeply unreasonable not to start stripping. Come on, they asked you to.

Somanysocks · 13/03/2020 13:38

@Horsefeather nobody needs to see that.

My work colleague asked me to proof read a document that she had written before she sent it.
She referred to herself as a 'prawn' in a game of chess and that someone was being 'obstropolous'.
I corrected them with no comment...

I have just seen this little beauty on FB

Reminds me of a little kid telling a parent they’d been learning about animals’ sense of smell.

‘They sniff their way along, Mummy. It’s called instink.’

Many years ago , when I was a civil servant we wrote letters out and they then got sent to the typing pool to be typed . I had one come back that instead of saying now you are no longer living in the marital home , they had typed now you are living in the mental home

A notice in the loos at my GP:

Please put blue paper hand towels in the bin. Do not put them in the bowels as they block the toilet. Thank you.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 13/03/2020 16:58

A million years ago I was on a course. One day after a break our tutor read out a message from the janitor. 'Would students please refrain from stubbing out cigarettes in my back passage.' It took a while to get that class under way again ...

LittleRootie · 13/03/2020 17:21

'Rest bite'..love that Grin

To be fair, Obstreperous sounds just as bizarre as Obstropolous!

LittleRootie · 13/03/2020 17:21

Just a bit less Greek...

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 13/03/2020 17:32

I should hope no one is putting paper towels in their bowels! Sounds painful.

A crowd was apparently gorping at something the other day. The person that wrote it was the only one to help, and I admired her greatly for what she did.

I do wonder if people read or just don't notice what they read though because the same things appear time after time on MN. Baited breath, rediculous, bare with me etc.

Twospaniels · 13/03/2020 20:17

My colleague is having an operation for her caterax.

Also my auto correct at work wanted to change Rigevidon (contraceptive) to “didgeridoo” I so wanted to let it!
