Typo youve made that haunts you forever? - Kayfoxz - Nov 16, 2023
I can’t think of one off the top of my head, but some of the worst ones are just autocorrect moments for me, for example sec into sex. What are some of your typo moments that just make you shrivel up and drift into the wind

omw automatically corrects to on my way! which makes me sound way more exciting than I am.

You can actually change that on an iPhone (I would assume any android/samsung as well)

Applied for a job once. The place had "shire" in the name and I typed "shite" on the covering letter I sent with it.

OH NO. I am so sorry, that’s genuinely hilarious

That is absolutely true, but that would mean I lost the war against autocorrect; rather manually retype it myself than give up my proudness.

They thought so too. Even got me in for an interview so they could laugh about it.

It’s not good man, at best.. 80’s and I mean at best. Coding has ruined me English spelling..
Or I ruined me English spelling by doing bad in school..
You can pick why 🤣😫

Pretty decent if you ask me.
I was determined in improving my speed, but life got busy again and I just couldn’t care less hahah
RE: Typo youve made that haunts you forever? - Syndicate - Nov 16, 2023
Gotta keep up with your WPM score! I'm around 110 lately. I type pretty quickly with correct spelling and grammar most of the time.
One of my biggest mistakes was TRYING to call my girlfriend a "silly goose" and I accidentally said "silky goose". Now I have to hear it every day :')

That one still has me sweating, it’s one of the most egregious examples of fuck autocorrect that still exist to this day
