A misspelling can cause some grief, anxiety and unwanted discomfort between two parties.
Today, I received a short email from a CFO - who BTW is the nicest lady I have met in this city, well in this country, actually. The last sentence of her email should have read - "could you please come over for a sec" - sec as in second. Unfortunately, given that alphabet "x" is next to alphabet "c" within the keyboard, the poor woman typed in "x" instead of "c". Hence the sentence read - ""could you please come over for ....." well you can fill in.
The sweet lady was most apologetic & quite embarrassed - I reassured her, mistakes, errors happen, we are human after all.
Talk about misspellings eh? Please take MUCH care guys & gals, you wouldn't want to send the "wrong" message because of an alphabet, I know I wouldn't and now am a bit paranoid :)

So...was she belle? If so, does she wear l'oreal? Coz she might be worth it

loooool you "dont wanna go there?" means she ain't that belle...! Shame coz you said she is the "nicest lady" you "have met in this city"!!
