On another forum, I said "I ship Evilneko/Waltzy".

Except I spelled it "I shit Evilneko/Waltzy".

The "g" key on my keyboard does not work so well... this has lead to some interesting typos involving the word "grape".

One of my favorite ones ever, I made while attempting to express my disdain for pantyhose. I wanted to call them "The leggings of Satan." Instead, I dropped the first "A." I don't know who Stan is, but he must be one mean drag queen.

I also once typoed "Back" as "Nacl," which lead to amusing chemistry jokes about salt.

"Eat smart kids!" instead of "Eat smart, kids!"

That reminds me of a Spin City episode where the Mayor said the following:

"Do you hate New York? Drug dealers put me in Washington!"

I don't know who Stan is either, but I heard that goffs like him very much. They even have a religion for him, called "Stanism". And none of these stupid prepz could ever join.

I was wondering where I could share this. It's not so much a typographical error as the worst attempt at a bilingual sign I have ever seen.

English: (this part is fine... apart from NOT being in ALL-CAPS every TIME.)

Laundromat Hours

Monday thru Sunday

9am- 10pm

Management is NOT responsible for clothing or other articles left inside laundry room at closing or at any other time. All reports of machines NOT working and/or loss of money should be reported to both the management offices and ___ Laundry at 1-800-___-____. Thank You.

If you forget and leave your laundry in the laundry room after closing time you may get your clothes the next business day.

Spanish: (attempted)

Horas de Lavanderia

Lunes a Domingo

9am- 10pm

Si dejo su ropa lavando o secando cuando la lavanderia se cerro puede recogida su ropa el siguiente dia de negocio.

Management no es responsable por la ropa o cosas personals que se dejan entre la lavanderia al tiempo de cerrar o cualquier otro tiempo. Si ay un problema con una maquina que no trabaja / perdio cambio por favor de avisar la officina y ___ Laundry al 1-800-___-____. Gracias

So.

Many.

Things.

In all seriousness, now that's just lazy.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

What I want to know is which member of that apartment complex's management is going around leaving the residents' stuff behind and personally closing the laundromat. Because I haven't seen that happen.

Not a typo, but along the same lines as the above: one time at a laundrette in Spain I asked for "jamón" instead of "jabón".

I always pronounce "Taoism" as "Towelism". English is my first language, by the way.  *

Is towelism where you follow the word of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy? Because I think I may have found religion.

One time I managed to read the word "cajoles" with a Spanish pronunciation...

Almost every time I'm chatting with someone and say "what's up" I type it too fast and end up with "hat's up". I always notice and correct myself, but one day if I end up actually entering it, I'll try and pass hat's up as some new piece of slang.

Some general typos I always get entertainment from: "thongs" instead of "things" ("I hope thongs work out well for your grandma"), "raper" instead of "rapper", "Christina" instead of "Christian", "defiantly" instead of "definitely" (stuff like "definately" bothers me, but if someone says something like "Yeah, Linkin Park is defiantly awesome!", I start imagining that they have repeatedly been told by authority figures to stop being so awesome and have refused to).
