Like a bord on a wire, 1 — Funny Typos
Funny Typos | Posted by Jannie on 27 October 2008 @ 1:30 PM 23 Comments
Confession: I am a terrible typist. I could get better but please don’t hold your breasts. Speaking of breasts, funny how just one or two letters off can so change the meaning of things.
What I typed…
-
like a bord on a wire
-

-
copy and paste this on a site where meany eyes will see it.
-
the Wordpress tag clod is a neat feature.
-
teating, teating, 1, 2 3. (again with the breasts, oy.)
-

Do these bord on a wires ever happen to you guys? Or is it just me and my wine again?

My blog was unreadable before I got a spellcheck for it. I never took a typing class and so I type with 8 fingers, but none of them using the approved method, not even the same fingers for the same keys everytime.I like the Cash version of Bird on a Wire.

Spellcheck for my blog, I’m totally going there. So darn many things to learn. For instance Matthew Dryden of http://www.matthewdryden.ca so kindly helped me with my body font size HTML problem but there is still more adjusting to do.
Can hear that Johnny Cash version in my head right now. It was deep and true, thanks for the reminder. Cash, may he rest in peace.

Ha! Too funny!
I actually prefer to type my blog posts in Word, because it automatically flags misspellings. And then I copy and paste to my blog. That seems to cut down on the obvious typos. I’m definitely NOT the best typist, either!
So if Shakespeare took up tightrope walking, would that be a bard on a wire?? Hmmm…

Sahy, Lsia, you’re both commediennes, I see. Bard on a wire- love it!

That’s funny you say that. I saw something once that was a bit of an eye trick. A lot of times with context clues and the way the human brain works, something could appear completely unreadable and the human mind can still figure it out.
I found it!!!
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I always write my entries in WordPress. It throws me off to write them in Word (or rather, OpenOffice Writer for me).
Luckily I use Firefox, and it has awesome spell check.

I attended a wedding where the person officiating accidentally said to the groom, “today you marry your breast friend.” It was hard to keep from snickering after that.

Wow Jannie I made it ahead of Vered, even though I went and did my visits with my cancer support group this evening! She must be giving me a head start as my techie did not post my article until this afternoon?
Sometimes I just type so fast to keep up with my head that my typos are amazing inspirations…one must keep a good sense of humor at all times.
I think typos and spelling errors are to be expected when we have such sharp and witty minds and such slow fingers!…Though I have found my Dragon Dictate to be so slow and truly guess the wrong word choice about 80% of the time – good for post surgery but too frustrating for major ideas
Thanks for the fun post

I sent you a voluminous email, I hope you got it. It was a tedious collection of B poems. Really, I just wanted the chance to use the word “voluminous.”

I don’t have time for spelling – I’ve got DVDs to watch! It’s lucky if I actually look at the screen when I’m typing!

My spellchecker is usually my husband. Although I prefer the one on Word – less attitude! I think a typo from time to time just keeps things interesting.

you are cracking me up. for me its azz, and a ton more than when you have listed above. You have to just give it up and let yourself make a mistake

Caity, that makes me feel a whole lot better, knowing how common it is and how the eye works,
Matthew, Firefox,eh?
Carla, lol!!
Patricia, a sharp and witty mind -yes that’s it. Must be.:)
Shay, got teh e-mail and you and I are in the song biz, if you want my melodies to your lyrics.
Michael, and waht are teh DVDs, exactly?
Stephanie, if I didn’t send mine off to wrok in teh daytiem I’d have him here checking my every word.
(So, y’all are saying I can get a program or plug-in or soemthign to check comments before I post them too?
Justagirl, that’s it! kick some azz and make soem mistakes.

Lol, that’s funny! I never thought of that. I don’t so often mix my letters up, but I am the worlds worst speller and REALLY have to remember to spell check first. I am in the Administrative field, so I have to make sure documents, etc. are correct.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
On 28 October 2008 at 7:59 pm Jannie said,
Jennifer (Danifer) the pleasure is all mine. And I did go on all 10 of those blogs you linked to today!

This post made me smile. I think I understand: the other night I spelled the word “drink” aloud. I have a toddler who knows what the word means, so I said to my husband, “I think he wants a D-I-C-K” – “change the meaning” indeed.

I really needed that good laugh! thanks!
I bet you can write some totally silly stuff-
Sure you aren’t a comedian?
I have all kinds of spell checkers, like on my freebee Google Toolbar on my browser, BUT I Never Use Them! I was tortured in Catholic school as a child…
Ever have a vase of long-stemmed noses? I have!

Aimee, good one! Shall we compile a list together?
Snag, yes I am really Jerry Seindfeld out here testing the cyberwaters under the pseudonym of Jannie Funster (but, shhhh, just ‘tween you ‘n me, m-kay?)
Long-stemmed noses, sounds like a case for rhinoplasty to me. Glad I could make ya smile a bit, Snag, especially after you’d read the post about the dog being put to sleep first.
Catholic School, for how long? Bet you have some stories to tell!
On 29 October 2008 at 2:50 pm Aimee said,
See, I even messed up my comment. I meant to spell D-I-N-K. I knew it had ’something’ to do with a slang term for penis. *sigh* Point proven?

I am so bad about typing as fast as I think which is about as fast as I talk. Bad habit which I need to work on. I loved reading your comments above. hahaha

Aimee: all the better for laffs!!
Cricket: Sometimes my mind works almost as fast as my mouth.
Snag, I need to hear MORE. Was any of it boarding school?
