I wrote to a friend that yesterday I made myself go out and mow my overgroan back yard.

Anybody got any others, authored or found?

I once had a friend who kept a herd of nannies for their milk - due to the gentle miasma preceding her into the room, her outer clothing I termed her 'overgoat'.

This thread makes me think of a former member, who seemd to have an inspired gift for such typos. ATB, whatever you're up to, RC.

Amen. I immediately thought of the same old friend.

Canes and walking sticks, Rhuby.

yes, group thought! I guess that's the trouble being retired, suddenly you have no time for anything... :]

Yep. I miss him, too. He's the king of serendipitous (I used to call them felicitous) typos.

Anyway, Jackie, thanks for the thread and I'll start thinking of any I may have committed. I'm usually better (or worse, depending on how you look at it) in speech. What would you call that?

You can still call them felicitous! I would have if I'd been able to think of it!
