I'm admin on an FB forum for PTAs. Someone has just commented on a thread about Santa's Grottos, apparently they're going to decorate theirs with "snowflake netting across the windows, a blow up father christmas and tree on the outside, oh and not forgetting the snow top foof"

I laughed so hard. What's the best typo you've ever seen/done? I did confuse lick and kick once in a dirty text...... could have been a bit ouchy.....

There are many many instances on mumsnet of "muslins" being autocorrected.

Barely a day goes by without me reading people telling each other to "throw a few Muslims in a bag" or "just use some Muslims when breastfeeding" etc.

Confused

I can't help it, I laugh every time! It's an awful autocorrect. Grin

"School sent out a text message asking for "willies to be sent in deposable bags""

What was it meant to say?

A former colleague mistyped an invoice to a client whose company address was The Pump House. She accidentally wrote The Pimp House. Thankfully they thought it was hilarious.

I love the idea of receiving a formal email from Satan! Typos are my favourite form of humour.

Had to explain that it wasn't an autocorrect, that's a real thing in engineering...

Wow @JudasPrudy, that's to the point! I got one from a holiday company once asking "when was the last time you felt the wind on your nips?" I'm still trying to work out if that was a typo or not.....

I sent a friend a picture of giraffes in the zoo, asking which one she wanted me to steal. She replied ‘Second from left, please! Stick him in your Vag but try not to squish his neck’

Still makes me snort. Grin

I used to work on a newspaper called the Lincolnshire Free press - can't tell you how often I typed Lincolnshite!

Don't think it made it into the paper, but I did see a reference to the noted hostelry r The Red Loin; and I recall a couple having their wedding reception at the Pubic Hall 😁😁

The second of those reminds me of Ds1, aged about 6, coming home to say he had roast lion for school lunch. Turned out to be roast LOIN (of pork). Still makes me smile 😀

I once worked in a job where my boss had great confidence in me. I was due to attend a meeting which would hopefully bring in a lot more business to the company. Morning of the meeting, my boss attempted to tell me how well I was going to do by sending me an email saying "I thrust in you".
Every single woman in the office fancied him. I would have let him 'thrust in me' anytime. Grin
