It is Passover and I am hiding online

[rachelmanija]

I forgot to eat anything today and just drank a glass of wine. I am suddenly noticing that I seem to be making more than the usual amount of typos (but I am correcting them as I go, I hope.)

I just peeled and chopped and put in the roasting pan vegetables (carrots, red fingerling potatoes, garlic, onions, parsnips, turnips, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes) for sixteen people. I am at a friend's house for Passover. There are sixteen people, three dogs, and three rabid bats cockatiels parakeets of DOOM. Actually the dogs are of DOOM, they kept interfering in the kitchen. Anyway, I had a fit of not-dealing-with-human-beings-ness and am "checking my e-mail."

Dinner id served in fifteen minutes if we are on time. I hope the begetables are ready, but I am concerned.

your "begetables" might be concerned about their identities, too~ XD

At least I didn't write "smuarr" when I meant "summary" like someone did in the Naruto comments.

You've known me for how long, and you're surprised by my typos?

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

That one was unusually good.

My friend Clint and I have on occasion adopted my typoes, if they seemed to fill a niche. Bpggle is one: it's like boggle, only moreso. (Hence his LJ name.) And every so oftne - haven't in three or four years - send him mail from a character named Anastasis, due to mistyping Anastasia. (My friend Jennifer occasionally got mail from someone named Gunther who was passionately in love with her. He sent postcards to her workplace, just to screw with the minds of her coworkers. They ended up getting into it, and occasionally she'd find a phone message slip from Gunther at her desk.)

Elarning is another one, although it never quite gained a definition.

The best typo ever was discovered by Jo Walton in a term paper: "Adam Lurie believed that everyone could achieve onion with God."

My second-favorite was committed by one of my bosses, in the description of a character in a TV script: "A car ran across his face."

*snerk* That's great. All I ahve to offer is a book on that Japanese all-female theatre tradition that I can't spell, where they were talking about public discourse and made the obvious typo.

Or, actually, the school newspaper at the university I got my MLIS at, which proudly proclaimed, in 72-point font:

BADHDAD FALLS!

I saw that~ XD

It'd make such a cool thing to growl at coworkers, though. Now I just need to find me some coworkers...
