Re: What's the worst typo you have ever made, received or come across?
Not so much a typo but we had this really difficult and demanding client and she sent us an email making a list of ridiculous demands, which wasnt uncommon.
My boss replied internally, or so he thought, saying in the email "I dont know what planet she is on" but failed to remove her from the email.
She replied "Hello Simon, I am from the planet Earth" :hehe:
Re: What's the worst typo you have ever made, received or come across?
It's a joke, but it made me laugh....
A guy sends a text to his next-door neighbor:
"Bob, I'm sorry. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess: I have been helping myself to your wife when you're not around, probably more than you. I know it's no excuse but I don't get it at home. I can't live with the guilt any longer. I hope you'll accept my sincerest apology. It won't happen again."
Feeling outrage and betrayed, Bob grabs his gun, goes into the bedroom, and without a word, shoots his wife.
Moments later the guy gets a second text: "Really should use spell check! That should be "wifi"."

An employee of one of the companies I deal with called one of my co-workers a twat in a reply to all email when he meant to send it to one of his colleagues.

We had this one customer who was always complaining and was forever kicking off and of my colleagues replied to his latest email rant. “Here we go again. Light the blue touch paper and watch the fireworks commence” and replied to all recipients in error.
Needless to say fireworks did well and truly commence :hehe:

Not strictly a typo but working overseas some years ago I set myself the task of getting at least a dozen or so e-mails a week done in the local language. Unfortunately one early example regarding someone's promotion that should have started "I am pleased to announce..." somehow became "I am pleasured to announce.."
THREE days of giggling before anyone explained!

I used to work with a lady whose surname was Quinn. You can guess how it was misspelled in the Taunton phone directory.

Due to the proximity of J to H and B to N on the keyboard, yesterday I referred to a colleague as Jabbah (reminiscent of the Hutt) instead of Hannah when trying to set-up a meeting with a customer. Fortunately the squiggly red spell-check line alerted me just before I pressed Send.
