  • Udder brilliancy!

    Retards,

    GM
  • Either that or the worst :)
  • Or not a typo but a Freudian slip. :)
  • Amazing haha!
  • Martin
    A good one.
    O made another one - started an email to a customer by writing "Dead Paul,..." (instead of Dear...)
    Never received a reply...
  • Bryan
    I'm sure you meant to type "I made another one -". Nice typo in a post about typos. :)
  • Tijmen
    Got an email last week starting 'Hello fucks,'. After I reacted somewhat suprised I received a reply saying "OMG SORRY I meant 'Hello folks'!!". Priceless.
  • haha, that's brilliant.
  • Logan
    I don't believe that one for a second. The c is way out of the way on the keyboard from any of the keys in use when typing "folks." Nice story, though.
  • narakie
    That's also another Freudian slip :P
  • I once sent an e-mail response to a Judge whose Bar Association is my client stating "I will F/U" (Follow Up) She responded "Does that mean what I think it does?'
  • Anonymous
    "Like an animal, baby"
  • Priceless!
  • Twinkle Toes
    Haha, I had to read it twice before I actually spotted the error. The human brain actually does a lot of auto correction when reading a text filled with errors. If you didn't say it had an error, I would have missed it completely. :D
  • Anonymous
    my brain puts red squiggly lines under typos.
  • Bob
    WTF! This is a waste of bandwidth. C'mon t is right next to g - millions of people must make this mistake every gay.
  • That was cleffa Bob. Great post!
  • yeah, bozo, but g is not next to d.
  • haha, thats good shit
  • I think forgetting the NT on Wouldnt and Shouldnt is much worse because it totally changes what you are trying to say and people cant tell it is a typo
  • Along those lines, I just saw a post on Twitter announcing that "Tweetie 2 is not out" (instead of "now out).
  • =lolz
  • SKulic
    Hi gays!

    Great post and great comments!

    This is definitely one of my favorite typos. Double Dragon 3 opening screen.
  • awesome! but this one is even better http://www.josefrichter.com/blog/probably-the-b...
  • amanda
    most def the best!
  • what the???
    wth?!?! i've read it couple time, and i still haven't found the typo... what is it?
  • what the???
    nvm, found it now... wow... took me awhile
  • That's pretty funny.
  • fooboto
    i once typed 'retarted', instead of restarted.
    it was the only word in my entire email response.
  • IAMQOTL
    If that's not a freudian slip, I don't know what is..
  • Fake
    Clearly faked.
  • Wanna fuck tonight? Go here: http://bit.ly/VICuy
  • joel
    good, but here's my vote. My former company once showed the demographic profile of those who eat Banquet frozen fried CHILDREN.
  • Ryan V
    I received a client email that read, "Please help resolve the *incontinence* I've been experiencing." Spell check correction of inconsistency as incontinence is a mess one.
  • haaha, thats hilarious!
  • John
    I don't get it?
  • I tend to do that almost every time with "site" and "sh*t". Aah, and spelling checker can't fix those.
  • screaminjoe
    it's not at all funny, yet it's on the top list... OK
  • Adds proof for how lazy society has become with its communications - relying too much on technology (e.g., spell check) for the fine details, and shows that there's a need for grammar correction software like WhiteSmoke Writer.
  • Typing in a chat I meant to type sit but I added an H. That was my worst typo ever.
  • tdskate
    I don't get it.
  • tdskate
    Ooohhh, no I see it. Retards. Lame.
  • Lol retards xDD
  • John
    One coworker wrote an email this week and typed "pubic" instead of "public". I got a kick out of that for a bit.
  • haha that's too funny! I actually laughed out loud at that one. But like the other person above I missed it the first time ... must have "auto-corrected" it the first time lol ... good stuff!
  • raghuonrails
    Nice retarded typo ...!
  • HAHA! That. Is. Hilarious.
  • Mine would have read, "Best retards"
  • Dorian
    I don't remember the context but I once wrote an essay and put 'Whore' instead of 'Who're'... Teacher didn't like that.
  • I have a client - flatwhite cafe and am forever typing flatshite cafe!!!
  • Angi
    I always email the buyer if I sell something on eBay. A few months ago I mailed someone and told them "Your item will shit tomorrow"

    Luckily they had a sense of humor...
  • punctuationczar
    And you should try to remember the apostrophe too, cheap - 'cause it's the right thing to do.
  • Warner
    Damn! I do that Regards/Retards typo ALL THE TIME! I have auto-correct set to do that replacement!
  • poppy
    Finally saw the typo after 4 reads!

    Retards

  • whore the ones to pubicly say
    none
  • not by a long shot - http://bit.ly/1fsXrf : )
  • Lenin
    where is the typo here???!!
  • Daniel
    In Germany, on major TV, a moderator recently wanted to say "phishing attack" and did say "fisting attack", that caused a lot of LOLs around here.
  • haha .. good one!
  • Foo Tunny. I rope the heceiver gad a hood hense of sumour.
  • forbin
    I thought the error was "and remove the gradient...", and was terribly confused as to why this should be funny.
  • Dish
    I remember someone writing a letter to a client caling them acunt - was supposed to account.
  • I saw a tweet about somene liking night shit. I'm sure an "f" was missing
  • cool one..
  • Brilliant!
  • Best retards/Kind retards would have been even better!
  • I once got a technical document from someone (English was not his first language) that had misspelled the word "count" throughout the entire document. It makes a big difference when the letter 'o' is missing.
  • Arias
    ROFLMFAO!

    Years ago I was junioring below someone on an Arbitration case, and was reading an email I had been copied in on from my senior to the Arbitrator, which ended in saying that the parties had agreed a settlement between themselves, so she would be grateful if he would kindly "end his life" (should have been end his file). One of the highlights of my junior career, was the look on her face when I pointed it out and the grovelling phonecall shemade to him to apologise and explain.
  • Publics domain
    Once my colleague ...who had to tell client that the information he needs is present in public domain... just forgot the alphabet 'L' in the word public..
  • Ha ha ha... Good joke and the blogger has a better humor sense... Best wishes from our team "pokkisam"
  • Well, as English is not my first language, I really could not say!!! If some one could elaborate some,would be great!
  • Princess
    It's even worse when some of the keys on your keyboard sometimes get jammed. And so I signed off once as Joint Orgazing Secretary instead of Joint Organizing Secretary :(
  • My own personal top two:
    - I hope you are doping good
    - who are you doing today
