Believe it or not, there was a time before we all owned a personal dictionary nanny. Post your own or others' misspells that made you giggle.

I just now ended up sending Outbark Stakehosie as a suggestion.

My friend was talking to her boyfriend at work, and he said "I'm not doing much, just sitting here, pleasurizing."

It took her a few confused attempts before she understood that he thought the word "plagiarize" was actually "pleasurize"

That's some pretty bad plagiarism.

This looks a lot like suffering.
I work in healthcare and people say poo poo like larnyx and pharnyx all the time or confuse palpation with palpitation.

Extremely specific gripe: apparently a solid 90% of lawyers/judges don't know the difference between peremptory and preemptory, for some reason. Drives me nuts.

is preemptory a distinct legal concept or are they just misspelling peremptory?

Have you ever discussed someone's predicament and ended up giving them advice on "bug problems" instead? Because this innuendo really does belittle their plight in unfortunate ways.

Maybe Fat Joe is now Gay Joe. Like how Snoop Dogg became Snoop Lion. Swype is trying to bring you in touch with the times.

I love ‘defiantly’ instead of definitely. And homophone misuse of all sorts. If you want to get riled up about those types of things or just be impressed by the possibilities of misuse out there this website is great:
