Silmaril Typos (or: Is it a Freudian slip?)

Haven't we all smiled at the strange twists letters take when we type quickly? Here's our chance to share some of those that inadvertantly give new meaning to the sentence in which we find them.

Here's one that has been posted on the homophone thread, though it is actually a typo, and what a great one!

Here is a recent gem from chat that Bruce MacCulloch has graciously allowed me to post:

Another misadventure:

Quote:
-But i got to dance!!!
-Lush loves to dance
-With the past-expiration date rat boys?
-Frat
Actually, Merendis, judging by the social scene at Duke, the word "rat" is rather appropriate. Also, the word "Mordor," but we won't get into that for now.

Yes indeed - both 'forums' or 'fora' can be used as the plural of forum. For some reason, I prefer the latter. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Wow, Belin, that's hilarious! Maybe she's just confused by this whole typing thing and can't quite figure out where the letters are supposed to go, so the ones she's not sure of she replaces or eliminates entirely? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Here are some typos that (for some reason) are close to my heart:
  • anfuniel
    annufinel
    annunfineil
    annufiniel (whatever)

And the best/worst part is? The first two were in same post and all these are by one and the same writer! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img](For more information check the "Bad Guy" Trivia... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

EDIT: Oh, quick note so that no one thinks that I am being disgustingly picky: these are typographical errors that the people never fix. Some of them even deny the correct spelling of the words (and, if you know us, we make sure to try to correct them [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ).

Just wanted to make it clear that I know that everyone has a slip of the finger at times. I just like it when people admit their mistakes instead of getting offended and storming out of the Chat.

this one post was so full of mistakes I didn't know where to start or finish. So here's the whole thing.
Quote:
i knw sorry ok i wil use the period thingy. u are righ talot of variations in elvish since tolkien never completed it so they expanded it. its ok to haev diff varations like as in chinese have liek two varations for one language like manderness adn cantonese. so i mean having diffs is ok jsut not like u know totally something a 5 year old made but i would like to learn them all. Grey company also has a place were u can learn uh the other elven language but its in there secluded dictonary. SO u can find it to learn that and other stuff ijust would liek to learn all elvish if i could well
Quel fara= Good hunting

Silmarien: Wasn't that from the Language Forum? You should've seen what it took to introduce that poster to the period. It used to be all one big, run-on thought. And she still doesn't get the concept of Grey-Company Elvish versus Tolkien Elvish.

Quote:
"whispers to herself "u guys r so meen'"
Now what makes it really amusing is that she's mad because someone just called her a man. So is she attempting to say men or mean here? The world will never know...

Edit: Just found another one by the same person.

"whispers to herself "u guys r so meen'"
What I find amusing is that she managed to spell "whispers" and "herself", and wrote out "to" instead of saying "2", but she goes into "u" and "r", and misspells "mean", saying "meen". You would think that she would have said, "whsprs 2 hrslf 'u guys r so meen'", or, "whispers to herself, 'you guys are so mean'". The fact that she did a combination is quite interesting.

Isn't it ironic when people spell that word wrong?

Sarumans army is bread for one purpose
That's very... interesting. Why exactly does he have an army made out of food?
