People Remember Their Most Awkward Typos That Happened At The Wrong Moment In A Hilarious Twitter Thread

by May

It's already bad enough to find ourselves stuttering as we speak, but it gets worse when we intended to type something but the result ended up differently.

Typos could get us into trouble. And it is especially true in professional and academic settings.

For example, a paper with numerous typos can leave a bad impression on the reader and might even get rejected. And if you say somewhere in your CV that you're detail oriented and the reader sees an error, they will think otherwise.

We've all been there — we're in the middle of typing out a long email or document, and we hit "send" without proofreading it first. And then we cringe as we realize that we've made a mistake.

It's always important to check for typos before you hit send, whether you're sending an email, a document, or even a text message. Typos can change the meaning of what you're trying to say, and they can make you look unprofessional.

No matter what form of writing it is, proofreading and editing are essential parts of the process. They ensure that your writing has clarity and your ideas are more understandable.

You must reread your email, paper, or social media post after editing to look for more serious problems with the content and structure of the paragraphs. Running through free grammar checking programs will make your job easier.

If it's a long document, get someone else to read it for you. A fresh set of eyes can often catch errors that you've missed.

And take your time. Don't try to rush through the proofreading process.

The more time you take, the more likely you are to catch errors. So take a few extra seconds to proofread your work before you hit send. It could save you from embarrassment – and from making a fool of yourself.

Otherwise, you might end up wanting to hide yourself from the face of the earth like these people who've committed awkward typos.

Not exactly a typo, but it's awkward all the same.

And that's a nice practice tip right there if you don't want to end up saying the same thing.

Do not underestimate the impact of typos.

As you can see from these stories, some people didn't notice some of the errors. But when they do, it can either turn into a light-hearted icebreaker or an instant rejection.

And you're lucky if it's the former! What if you're one step away from having that dream job and it was all ruined by a single typo?

Take the time to proofread your work. It might just be the difference between success and failure.
