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 :( "
