Here are some of my favorite “passes-spellchecker” screw-ups:
Mis-ism | Real meaning | where |
sever instead of server | ||
fist instead of first | ||
“Mint just announced its $170 million acquisition by Inuit this week!” | Eskimos are savvy 🙂 | @vatortv |
“We have to go back to understanding the browser is a malicious environment. We lost site of that.” | Yes, browsers are used to visit sites but I didn’t expect them to lose sight of those sites! | HTML5 security article |
Such suites should demand a complete discovery, something that wastes 1000’s of man-hours of the firm’s time | Perhaps a different hotel suite should be used? Oh you meant [law]suits! | copyright discussion |
This checksum will be compared server-side to make sure that all post data sent to the API server made it there in tact | Tactful data is good, but maybe ping.fm was talking about intact data? | ping.fm dev documentation |
How do I get users to ‘sing up’ | maybe you would rather they sign up? | ping.fm dev group |
Product Manger | Is this a position for managing the Three Wise Men? Or did the person mean they were a Product Manager? | Too many resumes |
We are suing Cisco because they have the best routers. | Perhaps you should be using Cisco routers rather than suing? |
I will add to this post as I come across new entries!
