Type-Os

Spellings and Wordings are very important. Its importance strikes us only when a typo / wrong-word-in-the-wrong-place changes the meaning of the entire sentence. It is even more embarrassing when such statements are addressed to the wrong addressee! Here are some real life examples to prove this point :

1. Instead of saying "That is insulting", she said "That is insluting" !!

2. In an official mail to the clients regarding hotel accomadations, "Shilton Royale" was one of them. I dont think the clients ever preferred the place as the sender missed out on the "l" in "Shilton"!!

3. She wanted to say "Arey! Ek Dum ..." instead she said "Arey! Ek Bum.. " !!

4. Never type in a hurry! Thats when you type extra letters in the wrong places - like an extra "t" in "busy" after the "s" while saying "I am busy" !!

5. In her confusion regarding the place she had to shift to, she said "I dont know whether to shit here or there" !!

6. Intended to say "'cute' has transcended its horizons when you use it" instead said "'cute' has transcended its horizons when you use me" !!

7. A lady chatting with her male friend wanted to ask him if he was a good cook. She landed herself in an embarrassing situation by typing a "c" instead of the second "o"!!

8. Entry in a diet diary - "500 gms snacks, 200 ml cock" !! :))

QED :)
