Ear Ye! Ear Ye!
Typo of the day resulted from a cut-and-paste error. It started its journey as Dear editors and ended up as ear editors. Ear editors: some kind of digital plastic surgeon, I guess? “Have you run this lobe past the ear … Continue reading

My Object All Sublime
Typo of the day is snicjkered, which I take to be an especially insidious style of snickering. e.g. “He didn’t just snicker at me–he snicjkered! So I impaled him on my snickersnee.”

A Fuzzy Thing Happened…
Typo of the day is trible (where I intended to type tribe). It caused me a little trouble.

Just Be Cos
Typo of the day is cosgender which I discovered by mistyping cisgender in some sentence like “Cisgenger is not a slur”—a statement too obvious to need saying, except that we live in the Worst Timeline. “Cosgender. That ought to be … Continue reading

Potayto, Potahto…
Typo of the day is eggshites (where I intended to type eggwhites). I’m thinking of letting it stand. Since Mr. Pancreas tried to kill me last winter, I’ve come to appreciate eggwhites, but my narrator doesn’t think much of them.

To Werror Is Human…
Typo of the day is werror (where I intended to type error). I figure a werror must be some kind of mutant werewolf produced by an experiment gone horribly wrong. “They were neither human nor wolf! You will never escape … Continue reading

Ms. Misty Misprision
Typo of the day is mistura (where I intended mixture). This isn’t exactly a typo, but more like my brain slipping from English to Italian, helped by the fact that, on a QWERTY keyboard, S is right above X and … Continue reading

Helianthemumbling
Typo of the day is sunrose (for intended sunrise). The sunrose sounded like a real thing to me, and Mr. Internet says it is, also known as the helianthemum (from Greek ἥλιος “sun” and ἄνθεμον “bloom”).

Out of the Mouths of Beats
It’s a little early for a Typo of the Day–not even 1 AM where I sit with my confused but valiant keyboard. Still, I don’t think I’m going to top this one: heartbrat (where I intended heartbeat). Heartbrat–an obviously useful … Continue reading

Hopefully the 3-Legged Kind
The typo of the day is stool (where I intended stood). It changed the meaning of the sentence a little.
