When spelling checker fails to pick up an incorrect word because the word, though incorrect in your sentence, was actually a real word in itself.
These require serious proof reading to find, as they won't be underlined in red, however, it's worth doing because they can make a HUGE difference to what it is you were trying to say...

The pseudo-typo is a real word that is inappropriately placed:
Innocuous:
"We all lined up on the star line."
(We all lined up on the starT line)
Disastrous:
"If you do that again, I'm going to come down there and kiss your ass!"
(If you do that again, I'm going to come down there and kiCK your ass!)
Example:
"I wrote to my boss and made an horrific pseudo-typo, instead of saying I'd like to kill him, I said I'd like to kiss him and now we have a date on Wednesday :( "

John: Mike was high as a kite and last night and was trying to tell me something about how angry people will eventually ruin the pharmaceutical industry....?
David: Yeah well he does that sometimes, it's just the Wisdom of the weed.
Mike (last night - thinking): La de dum, today is a happy day, it's nice and cool and my sweater feels nice and I never noticed it was such a nice shade of red - look at that, it's like that balloon in that German girl song the one with the armpit hair, what was her name, god was that 20odd years ago? surely I can't be that old...and....OMG! if angry people somehow get a hold of the drug that makes your memory vanish....etc etc etc....I'd better tell John so he can remember tomorrow when I don't....

A web-whoops, where the intended word was "account" but the fingers were faster than the brain, and the brain forgot to spell-check.
Very bad if you do it in a business letter and do not correct it, leaves the customer wondering: "What's an Aco cunt?"
