Words are funny things. Spelling them is especially amusing at times. For me, at least. Why?

Because I misspell...or should I say 'mistype' the same words incorrectly again and again. A few of them are up there in the post title. My favorite?

Thnak. Yes, my twisted version of 'thank'. Why is that one so freaking hard to type correctly? I say it a lot. 'Thank you for your help.' 'Thank you very much.' 'Thank you for letting me borrow your wolverine for an extended period.'

But typing it? Thnak. Thnak. Thnak. I'm wearing out my backspace key on 'thnak' alone.

What? Auto-correct? Uh, no. I've seen the damage that can do in text messages. 'Mom, I'll burn Roger's back.' Followed by, 'WTF?' And, 'BE RIGHT back. BE. BE.' And even if that would not happen in Word, I'm morally opposed to auto-correct on comedic grounds.

Buy. Yes, 'buy'. Instead of 'by'. That mistake makes me seem so consumerist.

Stoping. What, I'm too lazy to tap the 'p' key just one more time?

Fro is pretty common, I believe. At least fro guys like me.

Yuo is pretty unique. I can't say I've ever seen anyone else consistently mangle 'you'. It's as if I'm trying to imprint a new Chinese term on the reading world. Unless there is already a Chinese word spelled 'yuo'. There is, isn't there? Now I'm a mistyping plagiarist.

If you hang with me enough I'd lay odds that I'm going to muck up 'I' at some point. Cnout on it.
