The Typo Demon

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?
