“week”?
Wow. Crazy-dumb typo. Sorry, peeps.
Also from the department of errors a spell-checker won’t catch, a FB friend just wrote “My love goes out to [person] and family for there lose…” I actually didn’t know what this meant, until comments clarified that it was “their loss”. And one on Twitter recently: “Your to sexy!!!” I can poke fun because of my own spellling eror above. And because I’m a dick.
Back in the Definitive Music thread, you made a too/to error. I didn’t point it out because it’s the internet, and typographical errors happen here. Also, I’m apparently less of a dick.
Well, not that much less of a dick.
That one I plead innocence on. My “o” key is missing (thanks, cat!) and it takes a bit of a trick to hit it correctly and, when hit correctly, only once. So, “t”, “to”, “too”, and “tooo” are interchangeable.
:: Looks over old posts, now understanding that Josh’s keyboard is broken. ::
“Oh, he got a stomach ache from drinking too much pop!”
I don’t get it. And as great as my site is, I don’t feel like reading all the back issues to get it. Help?
For the record, “7″, “y”, “o”, “k”, and “n” are all broken. So please don’t bring up Superman’s home planet.
Or “Yonkers”. Not because of the letters, though: just on principle.
long zhu?
It doesn’t really come from the back logs of your site. I was making a not very mature joke about things that one could consume that might give one a stomach ache, and the confusion that might ensue as a result of a “double o” keyboard error with the word “pop”.
As always, any joke that needs an explanation probably wasn’t particularly funny in the first place.
You may have been more clever than you thought.
