Foolian slips

[CryptoPlankton]

We all make typos/thinkos from time to time. Are they all purely accidental or is there some subconscious influence sometimes? I wish I'd made a note of more as I've noticed them on LF, but here are a few I've spotted just recently - with possible explanations (they are anonymous to protect the good name of the authors*):

"I think that is a slight exaduration" - (I believe you're saying it lasted longer than it really did)

"the intensingly irritating whining" - (it gets more and more irritating)

"I was perturned this morning by the..." - (it troubled me enough to make me change my mind)

"thought about reducing my holding on Fryday" - (for fear of getting my fingers burnt?)

"You may laugh, but I can assure you there are divers opinions on the subject" - (it's deeper than you think)

I know I've let a few excellent ones through the net, but maybe others will get on the case now (though I'm aware I don't seem to be on the same wavelength as many people here so maybe not!).

Carry on...


(* Of course, such unique words aren't difficult to track down with the search facility...)

Yeah, it was really just added as a filler - never mind...
