I've seen Retards instead of Regards at the end of emails. Kinda changes the tone of everything before it.
The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.

Fixed the link for you

That URL seems to get censored across instances because your link also just replaces the offending word with "removed" for me. Everyone else, if you see "removed" or something like that in the above link, just replace it with the offensive word this discussion is about; or just do a web search for yahoo finance tweet n word to find various articles about it.
French speaker here: Began a message over Teams to a coworker with "Hey, salut!" and wrote "Hey, slut!" instead.
I have never edited a message so quickly in my life.
French word for typo is "coquille" because long ago some newspaper printed "couille" instead, which is slang for testicule.
Turns out to be légèrement plus compliqué but the story is good. https://oparleur.fr/coquille
Messaged wife while on a trip in UA: "Spent the night in a little girl in basement"
"girl" and "hotel" are a remarkably similar swipe movement on an Android keyboard.
Not a typo, but as a waiter I told a woman about our Cedar Seared Caesar Salad. Except I didn't say Caesar, I said Semen.
Cedar Seared Semen Salad. Oof.
Edit: Just realized the tongue twister was actually worse. It was Cedar seared salmon, Caesar salad. Whoever chose that as a menu item was some sort of sadist.
Not even a typo, but had a boss would would use "F U" as shorthand for "follow up." Was always shocking to see emails saying "I will F U on Monday."
My family name is Carvalho (oak). I asked my then 8 years old son to sign his passport and he wrote “Caralho”. I’ll let you search that on Google with the safe search OFF.
When i was in primary school I was searching images of different types of pasta on the school computer for a project and accidentally typed 'pene' instead of 'penne'
I dont think safe search was a thing at that time
One time I copy pasted a horrific NSFW subreddit to my sister that I was making fun of the existence of to a friend just before. That count? It did not fit into the discussion we were having at all and she was horrified. I can't remember the name of it now but it was like "fapcaves" or something where people literally post up pictures of their huge disgusting masterbation stations they make.
I bought a rotisserie chicken and was going to use the meat. Texted a friend that I was "boning a chicken."
Deboning is a word. I swear.
Movie night. I asked one of my friends to bring cocporn.
(It was meant to be popcorn)
Not mine but from a colleague: years ago on a very big signboard in the center of our city, promoting a gig with a very special guest at the time (still very good tho), tech house dj Satoshi Tomiie, he wrote Satoshit Omiie...
I saw this from somewhere else, a person was in a multiplayer, and in the chat they were trying to type "edits", but made some other typo in that, which auto-corrected to "drugs" before they sent it. So the message turned to "Tbh I make drugs."
In guessing you accidentally posted this twice because your lemmy app said it timed out when it didnt
My workplace has a program that will pay for your college courses, so I signed up for a certification course at CUNY. I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork for my workplace and list the college multiple times. Well, the letter T is right next to the letter Y on the keyboard, so I accidentally put CUNT instead of CUNY in one spot. Thank God my boss was cool and just thought it was hilarious.
