"The coats were spiralling out of control."

I meant costs. Which is much less interesting!

"Bugs scuttled into cracks and cervixes."

Obviously I meant crevices.

Actually o for i is one of my standard typos - I quite often have Sosters of the Order of Theis too, but that's less funny :)

I got some studious water 'poring over the edge' which wasn't as much fun as 'the scared table' I found and corrected in an old work a few weeks ago.

If I keep typing in here you'll get a few more! It has taken as much time to correct the typos as type the post. I think I'm typed out for the day!

I generally type 'yeah' as 'ursh' at least once a day. Hasn't happened that much this month though, thankfully.

I sometimes type "sinner" instead of "dinner", which is quite funny. Just now I had my characters travelling on a plant, rather than a plane.

Not strictly a typo, but yesterday my character bought a can of deodorant and then "didn't bother to go to the toilet, but just sprayed himself out in the station concourse". Not quite what I meant. I've since reworded it.

The worst typo I nearly sent in an email (but luckily noticed it just in time) was when I wrote to thank my mother-in-law for making our wedding cake, and meant to remark on the "white flowers" she'd decorated it with, but the s is quite close to the w.

Oh, I've done 'sinner' as well.

And I actually got so sick of typing 'woth' instead of 'with' that I made Woth the god of toilets in my novel.

Eeeewwww!

This from this evening:

Pol strolled from the room and down the corridor to the hall, a huge groin on his face.

It completely derailed my train of thought for about half a minute. :-)

Another good one from yesterday's Write-In:

Quote:

She looked at him for a moment, then at Pol who made no move whatsoever to counter this astounding statement, then she burst out laughing. It was either that or burst into teats.

Tears, dear, tears,,,
