French speaker here: Began a message over Teams to a coworker with “Hey, salut!” and wrote “Hey, slut!” instead.
I have never edited a message so quickly in my life.
Oh, putain!
I’ve seen Retards instead of Regards at the end of emails. Kinda changes the tone of everything before it.
I am highly regarded
🤣
The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.
This is a good reason to use Dvorak
Would probably just go crawl into a hole after that.
Fixed the link for you
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tamerragriffin/yahoo-finance-removed-navy-typo
That URL seems to get censored across instances because your link also just replaces the offending word with “removed” for me. Everyone else, if you see “removed” or something like that in the above link, just replace it with the offensive word this discussion is about; or just do a web search for yahoo finance tweet n word to find various articles about it.
Not even a typo, but had a boss would would use “F U” as shorthand for “follow up.” Was always shocking to see emails saying “I will F U on Monday.”
That’s kinda hot
Messaged wife while on a trip in UA: “Spent the night in a little girl in basement”
“girl” and “hotel” are a remarkably similar swipe movement on an Android keyboard.
I don’t live in the US so I don’t know what “UA” means
I don’t live in the US either.
I do but I don’t know what that means either.
One time I copy pasted a horrific NSFW subreddit to my sister that I was making fun of the existence of to a friend just before. That count? It did not fit into the discussion we were having at all and she was horrified. I can’t remember the name of it now but it was like “fapcaves” or something where people literally post up pictures of their huge disgusting masterbation stations they make.
"Warm Retards,
Xxxxx
A person was flirting with me and I meant to say “Go on.” but I typed “Goon.” and ruined it
You should have invited them to your goon cave
I saw this from somewhere else, a person was in a multiplayer, and in the chat they were trying to type “edits”, but made some other typo in that, which auto-corrected to “drugs” before they sent it. So the message turned to “Tbh I make drugs.”
French word for typo is “coquille” because long ago some newspaper printed “couille” instead, which is slang for testicule.
Instead of what?
Instead of coquille
Turns out to be légèrement plus compliqué but the story is good. https://oparleur.fr/coquille
I had a co-worker whom I accidentally renamed to Cunthia in several large distro emails.
I have typo’d hotfix as both hotdix and hotfux. One letter can change everything.
My family name is Carvalho (oak). I asked my then 8 years old son to sign his passport and he wrote “Caralho”. I’ll let you search that on Google with the safe search OFF.
I’m going to the store to buy some chips and human dip
My workplace has a program that will pay for your college courses, so I signed up for a certification course at CUNY. I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork for my workplace and list the college multiple times. Well, the letter T is right next to the letter Y on the keyboard, so I accidentally put CUNT instead of CUNY in one spot. Thank God my boss was cool and just thought it was hilarious.
