Typos can be fatal.  It is amazing which keys, simply by being located next to one another, can get you into serious trouble.

One such example was when I was emailing a client recently and realised (too late unfortunately) how close the letters ‘t’ and ‘g’ are to one another.  never again will I attempt to sign off an important email with the word “regards”!

My friend Lucy informed me that she had managed to end an email (luckily she DID notice in time) with “Breast regards” after informing another participant that she had been rather “busty” of late!!  Brilliant.

Other classics of my time:

Predictive text.  ALWAYS gets me.  Every time.  Mobile phones should be banned.

Certain words that should be checked are:

Any friends you might have called Amy.  “Boy, Any, Box, Cow” are some of the options offered, none of them very complimentary.

“me”/”of” – always muddled.

Now that I try to think of them my mind has gone blank – I will record more as I recall them.  However, my all time epic was the following text sent to a friend after a friend’s party…

“Hi mate, how are you?  I have had a good night thanks, helped bonk a Mexican for my friend’s 27th, it was yummy!”

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.  Replace “bonk” for “cook” and you get a very different (and correct) story.  Again, if it was pizza that had been cooked, I might have been in less trouble.
