    French speaker here: Began a message over Teams to a coworker with “Hey, salut!” and wrote “Hey, slut!” instead.

    I have never edited a message so quickly in my life.

    French word for typo is “coquille” because long ago some newspaper printed “couille” instead, which is slang for testicule.

    I saw this from somewhere else, a person was in a multiplayer, and in the chat they were trying to type “edits”, but made some other typo in that, which auto-corrected to “drugs” before they sent it. So the message turned to “Tbh I make drugs.”

    Not mine but from a colleague: years ago on a very big signboard in the center of our city, promoting a gig with a very special guest at the time (still very good tho), tech house dj Satoshi Tomiie, he wrote Satoshit Omiie…

    My family name is Carvalho (oak). I asked my then 8 years old son to sign his passport and he wrote “Caralho”. I’ll let you search that on Google with the safe search OFF.

    I had a co-worker whom I accidentally renamed to Cunthia in several large distro emails.

    Messaged wife while on a trip in UA: “Spent the night in a little girl in basement”

    “girl” and “hotel” are a remarkably similar swipe movement on an Android keyboard.

    I’ve seen Retards instead of Regards at the end of emails. Kinda changes the tone of everything before it.

    The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.
