I sent an e-mail to someone who doesn’t know me well and probably doesn’t know I am dyslexic. Because of the dyslexia, I end up writing things that have real words, spelled correctly with the help of spell check, which aren’t the right word. This sometime causes some confusion (and unintentional comedy).
Here is part of the e-mail that caused confusion.
I was explaining why I hadn’t written back in a timely fashion. In the e-mail I wrote, “I am still settling in my new place and internet access is dependent on the wife I can borrow (which isn’t around in the evening).”
It was suppose to read “WiFi I can borrow”. I can’t even imagine the confusing I created.
Here are some of my favorite spelling blunders from the past:
* Once sent a contract to “The Sacred Heart of Mary”. The contract I sent read “scared heat of Mary”.
* I sent a letter to a bunch of churches in TX about a tour we were doing. It was suppose to read “you and the parish next on our trip are responsible for getting us from one location to the next.” Instead it read, “one lactation to the next”
* Describing some food I was eating in Ecuador I wanted to say “wrapped in corn” but wrote “raped in corn”
