The fork and the spoon were in the draw for a few weeks and when I opened it, it was full of sporks.

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 :( "

When you catch a flash of "The Big Picture" during the rambling thoughts after smoking weed. The saddest part is, only you actually understand it, and you can't really explain it well enough to get other people to see it too - and when you come down, you can barely remember it yourself.
A passing wisdom that is lost on the sane and sober. Still, it shows you what your mind could be capable of....

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....

What your husband now spends thousands of hours looking at on the internet instead of what he use to look at.
The overwhelming list of applications to choose from, that have taken over the obsessions of the Blackberryphiles.

I walked in to the office this morning and caught my husband Googling images of "Blackberry". I wish I'd never bought him it. Forget "Golf widow" I am a Blackberry widow. He spends all his time now looking at Blackberry porn.

A strange phenomenon encountered when attempting to cross an empty road, where right as you go to step out hundreds of cars suddenly show up and make you stand there waiting,
Named after the scenes in Tom & Jerry cartoons when they put a toe on the street and millions of cars rush by, they remove the toe and the street is quiet again.

Let's cross over here, I can't be bothered to walk to the crossing and there's nothing coming....(enter billions of cars from nowhere)....uh oh, damn Tom And Jerry Effect.

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?"
(Also sounds like it may be a really unpleasant coconut.)
