Best typo that you’ve either read or had happen to you

[AutisticLegoLover]

I was updating a thread of mine earlier and went back over it to do a quick proof read. I was bemoaning the stupid virus I’ve got but it had been changed to Boris instead of virus which amused me greatly. I’m easily tickled with things like this when the typo is somehow eerily associated with the word you typed but your phone changed to make you look illiterate. My phone hates me and it’s getting worse lately with the typos. The word is correct when I type it and the bastard changes it when I’m not looking.

What’s your best one?

That reminds me of the Dave Gorman routine about a newspaper headline that claimed 'Sex in a tent can improve your love life' - and Dave's response was "Well, of course, if you have sex in a tent, you've automatically improved your love life to the tune of one sex!"

He then went on to consider the romantic attractions of different kinds of tent: ranging from the dreamy yurt in an isolated summer meadow as the sun sets; to the dirty, battered old red and white striped workman's tent that they use when repairing the gas pipes in the street!

I was emailing a male friend who was bald and sensitive about it. He'd asked how some situation or other was going and I told him it was "badly run". Except I typed and sent "baldy run".

I also have had the kind regards one sent to me but they meant to just write "Regards" so it just said "Retards" at the end of the email

I work with designers and often suggest something should be bigger, so I've typed bugger in loads of emails... but it's so common no one bats an eyelid really.

A work email, containing acronyms for job titles, one of which I made a typo or was autocorrected. The email I sent said "Ruby (she's the WHORE. )"

I did a mail merge of 100 letters which should have been addressed to ‘Dock View Road ‘ as ‘Cock View Road’.

I once sent “See you shorty” in a text message to a colleague, which wouldn’t have been too bad, but the recipient was a man who is about 5’3” and very sensitive about his height. Of course it was meant to say “See you shortly”.

I have also spelled my name incorrectly at the end of a work e-mail, which was a touch embarrassing as it went to a senior colleague. Just to be clear, I do know how to spell my own name!

I have spelled my own name wrong so many times that my phone now autocorrects it to the wrong version! (In my defence, it contains two letters that are next to each other on the keyboard and I am not a very good typist. I do know how to spell it...)
I may have caused some confusion in our cycling club group chat this morning when I told everyone that my MatB1 had arrived, rather than the new MTB (mountain bike) I'd ordered. No idea why my phone did that, given I type MTB quite a lot and haven't needed a MatB1 for over 20 years, but it amused a few people anyway.

For some reason my phone autocorrects used to sued, despite the fact that I have never sued anyone, don’t work in any kind of legal profession and have never needed to use that word.
