As an avid social-media user and fan, I have enjoyed collecting misspellings, misinterpretations, and other mishaps, then including them in my blogs and newspaper columns. The response from readers has been encouraging. One might even call it a “title wave.”
Thankfully, many readers began sending in more examples of AutoCorrect and texting fails, poorly worded signs, and embarrassing invitations. Cindy Lowery in particular is always on the hunt for me. This resulted in a series of columns, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. You can blame it on voice-to-text, spellcheck, blunders or many other factors.
No matter the reason, these social-media mistakes are a good source of laughter. (And my own smart-aleck comments are added in parentheses, like this.)
