Joke: Typo Error Can Be Serious...
I commit many typo errors in my emails, much due to the urge of getting them out as fast as possible and sometimes due to my poor English.
However, we should all be mindful that typo errors can be very serious sometimes, or example:
1. A daughter sent a telegram to her parents on passing her B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) examinations: "Dear Pa and Ma, your daughter has been sucessful in BED!"
2. A husband, while on a business trip to a resort station sent an email message to his wife, "I wish you were here."
The message received by the wife was, "I wish you were her."
3. A man wanted to celebrate his wife's birthday by throwing a party. So he phoned to order an expensive birthday cake. The salesman over the phone asked what message he wanted to put on the cake.
He thought or a moment and said, "OK. Put this sentence. 'Getting older but you are getting better.'" The salesman asked, "How do you want me to position on the cake?"
The man said, "Well..put 'You are getting older' at the top and 'but you are getting better' at the bottom."
When the cake was unveiled at the party, all the guests saw the message on the cake as "You are getting better at the top, but you are getting better at the bottom"
