Read this article on the mirror and instantly noticed right away the glaringly obvious error in wording 🙈 surely it wasnt intentional and dont things get proof read any more? Its imo worse because of the article content

Not as controversial but quite shocking: a letter from a US law firm partner introducing his colleague who would be "assfisting" him.

Sorry for the incontinence.

Flappingflamingo · 08/09/2020 21:07

Oh my god, took me 3 reads to see it, that's awful

GetTheDoorFrank · 08/09/2020 21:07

The Sen one is shocking

best typo ever - Beloved Aunt from Curb Your Enthusiasm

I once text my DH that I was “in deep perkiness” autocorrected from Dorothy Perkins!

BlackberrySky · 08/09/2020 21:10

Oh dear

Iwantafuckingbreak · 08/09/2020 21:10

Took me about 5 times to realise! 🤣

CherryBlossomPink · 08/09/2020 21:14

I once tweeted “spent a lovely afternoon with movies and anal teasers” - my iPhone autocorrected from Malteasers 🤦‍♀️

I think I'm missing it.

My best ever was signing off a rather stern email with the below:

Retards,

Squirrel

sqirrelfriends · 08/09/2020 21:20

Oh, I see it now.

I doubt it's on purpose but it's just awful. Oh dear.

I once,, as an 18 year old secretary, typed an envelope label addressed to 'Cunty Down'. What's more, all oblivious, I posted it.

I was gleefully informed of my error by the recipient who assumed I'd done it accidentally on purpose. I was completely mortified, 😊

MagentaRocks · 08/09/2020 21:24

Finally after slowly reading I spotted it. It was driving me mad as I couldn’t see it. Normally I spot errors straight away.

We live in an area where roads are often shut for racing .
I received a text
“ I am going to be late . Roads are SHIT “
Can’t argue with that one . Grin

A colleague of mine was very embarrassed when she described someone as downs syndroid

StuntCroissant · 08/09/2020 21:26

A colleague of mine once told me about the time he signed-off an email to a very short client (who was very touchy about it)

"see you shorty".

BluebellCockleshell123 · 08/09/2020 21:29

Oh my that’s terrible.

My colleague (we work in IT) emailed me and a few others this morning to tell us that he had “extended the dicks” instead of “extended the disks”. The teasing was merciless.

BrigitsBigKnickers · 08/09/2020 21:30

According to my auto correct I am a Teacher of the Dead! 😳

A friend texted the husband of a woman she knew who had taken over part of the organisation of a holiday. He had said he would let her no details soon so she texted back -
'Waiting with bared breast'
She still maintains that she typed 'bated breath'.

Holdingtherope · 08/09/2020 21:34

What is it? Am I blind?

VEGAS2016 · 08/09/2020 21:36

Work sent our an email to the whole hospital staff.

Read: shits available Grin

saiditbetterthanme · 08/09/2020 21:38

I don't see it either. The picture can't be enlarged on my phone so it is hard to read.

Lifeisabeach09 · 08/09/2020 21:38

Seems like a deliberate 'error' on their part.

Some of these typos are hilarious.

onewish05 · 08/09/2020 21:38

I don't understand. What am I missing Blush
