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 should start writing my funny typos down...

*laughs* Some of the typos are so easy to make, and it looks like you have the right word, but when you re-read it, you're quite surprised.

*Chuckles* I keep laughing whenever I read this thread.

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."

Can I just say Awesome, Emmalina?

*likes this class*

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."

Oh, that happens to me too! A lot of times when I'm trying to multitask by writing and listening to something at the same time, I'll type a random word I hear instead of what I meant to type.

Haha, I think that's what makes it happen to me too, Abby. Or else someone is just talking in the vicinity.

I have two characters, Earis and Erith. When I have them in a scene together and I go to type their names, what comes out is "Eright" which isn't even remotely similar to either one.

Politician de Paz · **Posted:** June 16th, 2013, 8:39 pm

I didn't even know this thread existed.

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

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.”
[When she didn't answer, I swore.] When she didn't answer, I sword.
[November 15] Novermber 15
[larger-than-life] larder-than-life
[pulling out a knife to cut the meat] pulling out a knife to cut the mean
[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,
[moon-white] moo-white
[beer rather than bear]The pre-dawn stillness had a kind of smother to it, like the foam on a mug of bear.
[arms rather than ears]I folded my ears and pretended to be fashionably offended.
[No mistake here, just awful writing.] She stepped forward, trapping the flapping flap edge.

Oh, yeah, and I also had this one:

“Welcome, welcome,” Fairivel said. “The time has come to select one courageous young man and – what?”
“Wrong script,” I hissed.
Fairivel glanced down at the paper on his desk, slid one off the top, peered at the one under it, and rearranged them. “Sorry. I have it now.”

I didn't know this was here either, and no I don't record my typos--except for in the occasional NaNo Project.

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

You need to fix your spellchecker.

Apparently, I wrote 'lop' instead of 'loop' in one of my stories....
