Okay, this one is an open thread for my fellow writers.
One of my pet peeves is writing a post, rereading it, editing it, reading it again, editing it again, several times over, hitting publish, reading the post again and…
Discovering more typos I missed.
More irritating than simply missing my own typos is when I write posts using my phone and discovering that my phone’s auto-correct had changed correctly spelled words into another word entirely. Sometimes, I catch it before I hit post, but other times, I don’t catch it until much later.
Just today, one I caught before publishing, the word “care” was turned into “climate change.” One I missed, “deceiver” was changed to “receiver.”
Moments ago, while rereading a post I’d just published, I found I’d missed “food” was instead “good”.
The Typo Demon had struck again, and I missed it, even though I’d read the post over at least 3 times before I hit publish.
So I’m turning this over to my fellow bloggers – or anyone, really – in the comments below.
How often do you do battle with the Typo Demon?
What are your worst/funniest typos?
Go!
