:rofl: Typos are amusing. Once my sister wrote "She gave her daughter a nudge" only it came out "She gave her daughter a nude"

Ah dear me..

I'm taking a class called Writing a Novel in a Year. I was writing my four defining chapters, 1, 3, 9, 11. (If you have taken this class, you probably know what that is.) Chapter 11 is supposed to be the "showdown", but when I was writing that on StoryMill, I accidentally put, "the chowdown."

Aah, Andi! That really made me squirm! *Shivers*

When I make funny typos, they are usually me being absent minded rather than my fingers slipping. Like once when I meant to write "I bit into my sandwich..." But I for some reason wrote "stomach" instead of "sandwich."

Here's one: [Blood was spilled, limbs were broken, lives were lost.] Blood was spilled, limbs were broken, livers were lost.

One of mine: 'He nodded and soothed his hair.' rather than 'He nodded and smoothed his hair.' (For some reason I imagine his hair waving around and screaming wildly....

)

I've had some pretty good ones lately.

[This one is missing the word into.]“Come any closer,” snarled a female archer with blazing blue eyes, “and I’ll make you a pincushion.”
[with his wings spread] with his wigs spread
[lose] rather than love]After several minutes of pondering whether he was going to love his breakfast,
[arms rather than ears]I folded my ears and pretended to be fashionably offended.

A really bad typo my sister had once was when she forgot the 'g' in 'nudge'.

He didn't want to talk, especially to a weird hunchbag.

Word is saving Iri...

Okay, so I wrote "hunchbag" instead of "hunchback" in a story recently...

My spellchecker gives me weird words sometimes...I'll post them if I see them.

Like,
["What the heck..."] What the gecko....
