Serving Up the Minutiae*
My wife misspelled a word in an email and sent a retraction.
"I mean indisputable. ugh"
I missed that faux paus. I must have had a dyslexic moment. Misspellings appear correct to dyslexics.
"A faux pas with foreign words doesn't count, does it?"'
Hey aren't there two ways of spelling it?
"But only one that is recognized by dictionary.com. It's French! You're the German Knower, I'm the French Knower!"
True, you are more right than me. But I wanted it on record that there are a lot o' mispellers of faux pas out there.
* - or pondering the difficulty in placing the words "was", "I" and "wrong" in the correct order.
