I was in the middle of CP World History, in the French Revolution period. Typing up a report as part of a mock trial defending Robespierre for the things he did, and suddenly...

"...Robespierre's defense tem."

And immediately afterwards,

"...Robespierre's defense tea."

Before settling on

"...Robespierre's defense team."

I sometimes happen to type "mea" instead of "mean". The default text suggestion is "culpa".

Back when I was 14-15, I tried to say Potter core due to a Tumblr post of Space Core saying Hogwarts. I ended up saying Potter whore instead and was corrected by my sibling.

A friend of mine posted a facebook update about being in the hospital because he hurt his foot - unfortunately what he actually typed was "I hurt my food". Lots of good-natured joking ensued, and I posited that "hurting your food" means accidentally burning your dinner.

Charles Sickens instead of Charles Dickens - the conversation was started by someone who found his works boring, so it was sort of fitting in that context? Also strikes me as a good stage name maybe.

Not me but my dad. Today while we were in the city looking for a part that it turns out A. could only be found online and B. wasn't even compatible with my stupid shitty ancient laptop in the first place, we were parked in the carpark sitting in the car and he was trying to look up the phone number for Principal Computers on his phone so he could call them and ask about the part in question. Since he couldn't quite see what he was doing, he typed "principip" instead of "principal" and I just lost it. I couldn't stop laughing.

Talking about a rather serious moment in an Avatar: Last Airbender story suddenly turned humorous.

“A Dai Li agent moved to assassinate Iroh, and Lu Ten was kicked when he leaped in front of him.”

That doesn’t quite carry the same weight as “he was killed when he leaped in front of him.”

But the mental image of the Dai Li drop kicking people instead of using deadly earthbending is hilarious. grin

On Discord I was trying to let people I was chatting with on a server know I was going to bed.

I was very, VERY tired.

I was going to type "slemp" as a meme version of "sleep". Instead, I managed to type "slmeo".

Which became a meme on that server.

On Discord, typing "Voldenort" instead of "Voldemort" (though I corrected it before posting)

Now I'm just imagining some Voldemort/Xehanort fusion x3

I kept typing "trophy" as "tropy" when talking to my bestie over Messenger. Damn time trials keep creeping into my brain even though I've already unlocked the blue bastard...

Not me, but I’m on a Discord server and someone misspelled my nickname on there as “Tmep” instead of “Temp”.

It was funny the first few times, but then it just became really annoying.

i think i’m in love (probably just hungry)

One time, I said, "LOL bye" and autocorrect turned it into "LOL ante". Not even close!

My phone has occasional weird suggestions when I'm using the "swipe" feature on the keyboard.

I remember my godfather once saying he can't use the swipe feature because somehow his are even worse. For instance, he'll try to type "garage" and it'll somehow come up with "spaghetti".

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

I once tried to email my cousin Iona happy birthday, but it autocorrected it into "Happy birthday, Ion!".

Also, I was once trying to type something about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (maybe even an edit on this wiki) and it turned "Dax" into "wax" and "Odo" into "odour".

One time, I was trying to type Honeymaren's name, but it got autocorrected into Hornymaren. Doesn't help that she's got a crush on Elsa (at least in my headcanon).

I usually try to avoid typos, but with my typing style, they often sneak out. For example, fir instead of for, tome instead of time... then we have "dies" instead of "does".

For complex mistypes, when wires start crossing:

When expanding on The Merch on Trivia.Touhou Lost Word, I almost typed "Reimu in her God-Shattering Star form". At least I caught myself before saving!

In class one day, someone was typing up an article about the first Royal Baby being born. Instead of "The Duke" they accidentally typed "The Duck".

Sometimes when I type the word “fucking”, it gets autocorrected to “ducking” for some reason.

Just now, during typing a post for a TRS thread, I almost typed "If not, that will be next on my list" as "If not, that will be next on my lust".

Kinda ironic, given the trope in question.
