Just a bit of fun… I was reminded of a famous one from our local Facebook group today. A woman had posted about how she was having a terrible problem with slugs coming into her house, and did anyone have any tips on getting rid of them. Unfortunately she’d accidentally typed ‘slags’ instead of slugs Grin Cue much laughter at how she’d tried putting salt down, but it still didn’t help 😆

Another favourite is from a forum I used to use years ago. One poster got into an argument with another and told her she was acting like a prima donna. What made this a slightly less cutting insult was the fact that she’d written it as ‘pre-Madonna’. Perhaps she was accusing her of behaving like Debbie Harry Grin

@TheOrigRights I guess we learn something new every day! Had absolutely no idea! I just googled this for more information and apparently slither for sliver has been used since 1900 - consider me told Blush

Colleague suddenly dropping off a call only to re-appear a few minutes later. He apologised, explaining that his phone had just gone down on him.

Oh, how we laughed!

I sent a message to a younger friend calling her a whippersnapper. However auto correct changed it to "whippet snapper". It's remained that since

Once on holiday DH took the kids down to the beach while I relaxed for a bit back at our accomodation after doing the 5 hour drive. He sent me a text saying they had found a 'hermit arab' on the beach!

A colleague once tried to put "sorry for the inconvenience", but had missed spelt and spell check helpfully changed to "sorry for the incontinence". And I always had to be careful when typing "account" - had a habit of missing out the "co". Slightly changed the meaning of the word!
