Incredibly, many shoppers remained undaunted — opting to step on-and-over boxes and sneakers. Some were seen struggling to find their balance and footing amid the ruble.

I’m reminded by what @fishbiscuit wrote in her derby entry a couple years ago …
@narfcake So here I sit, trying to figure out @fishbiscuit 's name, and failing.
My boss is a horrible speller and even spell checkers cannot do much when homophones are involved. I’ve gotten used to emails about Shairpoint and I am always shure to check things.
About a decade ago, he sent an email to a large cross-section of our user community regarding an upcoming system outage. He ended it with: “Sorry for the incontinence.”
Eye don’t sea the problem.

I like when I see a long bit of writing full of oddball grammar where it’s clear the author either used auto-correct of just hit “change all” without bothering to check if the corrections where accurate and with apparently no final once over to make sure everything is right. Gives it that ‘no fucks given’ vibe, which I can appreciate.
Jajajaja… People responded with misspelled words. Didn’t see that coming. Next time your in a crowd of people yell mooooooo!!! Classic…

Not a spellcheck error, but . . . One of the supervisors sent an email introducing a new hire with this glowing review:
“Jessica comes to us with ten plus years of medical office experience and bring with her some of the very skills and abilities needed here: excellent customer service, a working knowledge of CPT and ICD-9 coding, and the moral/ethic turpitude to get things done.”
Seriously.
@KDemo Bet Jessica is lots of fun on Girls Night Out.
WoooHoooo! Git it, gurl!
@LaVikinga - We had almost as much fun as when I worked at The Dept. of Fiche and Wildlife.
@mikibell - Why didn’t Spell Check correct spellcheck to Spell Check? I am ‘chagrinned’.
Spellcheck is responsible for all my errors.
Hence spellcheck is essential.
A sponsored ad on Facebook was a video showcasing some bra. Talking about avoiding the dreaded gap on button down shirts.
They spelled it buttin.
@RiotDemon I think they meant butt 'n. It’s a hip-hop term, right?
Right? OK, maybe not
/giphy butt 'n
OK, is this safe for work? Or NSFW? @Thumperchick, please help decide
@compunaut Hypnotizing, ain’t it?
@compunaut I’d say it is SFW, but then I work at a college where academic freedom allows pretty much everything including porn and the like.
It is indeed hypnotic, @LaVikinga.
@compunaut Depends where you work?
@Thumperchick I vote we keep it. Can we keep it? It followed me home. I promise to take it for walks and feed it.
Does anyone remember the game of Battleship we played on Periscope? We had to answer trivia questions? My phone would not say “Tinky Winky”. I tried over and over again. Turns out the answer was “Dipsy” anyway.
You mean fails like when my friend sent the results of the ‘shiFt bid’ out to the whole company minus the letter F?
