typo

One of those things that develops in your work as you print it.

Argh! I was printing out my work and I found *another* typo in it!

Typo

1. The one instance of a particular word in what you've written that will bring out stampeding herds of duh-weebs to point out to you the correct spelling of the word - and a few more incorrect ways to spell it - even though every other instance of the word is spelled correctly.

2. A correctly spelled word that illiterate duh-weebs are unfamiliar with, and will mistake for misspellings of other words.

3. The reason why spell-checkers were invented.

1. "The correct spelling of yelow is yellow."

"Maybe that's why I spelled it that way the other 36 times I used that word."

2. "You left the P out of homepage."

"If I had wanted to call my homage a homepage, I would have."

3. "I spell everything correctly! I use a spell-checker!"

"Spell-checkers don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, and neither do you."

Typo

A misspelling.

My favorite typo is when you mean to type something but it comes out so horribly wrong that you question your intelligence. This happens to me about once a week.

Typo

An error in the placement of letters due to poor dexterity, lack of co-ordination or poor technique using a keyboard. Has no relation with the more common misspelling which has a completely different origin and with which it is often confused.
