How have "typos" gotten you into trouble?

Typos on the forum kind of irk me - because in most cases the spell checker must be ignored to allow the error to be made. But I have to admit that I have done it - in cases where it's a real word, but the wrong context so the spell checker doesn't work.

It would be interesting if EF included a grammar checker. This would help eliminate the kinds of mistakes that I tend to make.

Overall spelling errors are more of an embarrassment than a problem.

I hate the auto-spell checker on my phone. It assumes I want a particular word based on the first few letters and will put it in place of whatever I am typing. I have texted my mother and realized this happened only after she sent me back a response asking what the hell "whore heartedly" meant. I had intended for it to be "whole heartedly" of course. Another time, I was bitching to my husband (in an email) about something my son's teacher had said to me earlier that day and I made the unfortunate mistake of emailing it directly to her instead of my husband. oops! I NEVER send angry emails ANYMORE! Anger is meant for someone to hear, not read. Lesson learned. That made for an uncomfortable year.

While making comments or writing to people, and I'm always wide awake. It just happens, I'll be typing and make a mistake that I fail to see. Then I say it, and I think to myself, "Oh shit..."

I turned in a research paper when I was a junior in high school, and I was finishing it at 4 in the morning. I kept making typos such as: sit-shit, shut-shit, cut-cunt. Spell check didn't do anything because they are words, and I didn't have time to read over my paper before I turned it in. Thankfully, my teacher was really lazy that year and she only saw a few "shits," but she just circled them on my paper and counted it as bad spelling.

I once misspelled the name of my thesis adviser via email so that it sounded funny. It was unintentional, of course. She took a lot of time to answer, but she did not mention it. But I am still awfully embarrassed about it.

I don't think I've done anything highly noticeable typo wise. My speech might become more incoherent if I am up too late though, if that counts.

OMG! LOL This is hilarious! I made a hilarious typo today on Facebook! lol I take care of my neices and nephews and the oldest is 13 so he just recently got a facebook account & For the past 2 weeks he's been carelessly leaving the his facebook page pulled up while he runs around. Since he's out of school for the summer, he just leaves his page up all day in the kitchen and that way he can see a new notification every time he walks by. lol Anyways, the youngest boy is 11 and I won't let him have a facebook just yet SO he's very interested in it.

So, when my oldest leaves the kitchen, I've been typing stuff into his status bar which y'all know posts publicly! It's hilarious. So far I've caught him every day with a good status! lol Today, he was in the bathroom & my youngest asked me if I would please type something funny into his status while he was away. So I couldn't resist. I had to hurry because we heard him coming and I accidentally typed "HAIR...BALLZ!" LOL hahaha! I had to admit it & announce to his friends that it was not really him because it was a little dirty sounding for kids. lol Hilarious though!

Mine is not so much trouble, as it was funny.
I was typing an email about possible forged documents to my district commissioner (GGC) and when I entered SACKVILLE, it was autocorrected ILLEGAL.

I guess autocorrect never head of Sackville.
