Typos make me giggle (sometimes)

[impulsereader]

So some of you may have noticed that I write (at least so far) strictly gen stories, though a lot of my Sherlock stuff can be read as pre-slash, and I'm perfectly happy for it to be so - whatever floats your boat.

However, I just typed this: Sherlock’s contemplation of the bottle is distracted by the treat of early-morning-still-too-bloody-sleepy-for-this-shite-where’s-m’tea-John on the stairs.

And I went back to re-read and revise, and realized I'd typed 'treat' instead of 'tread' and thought, 'Hee! J & S want to slash in this one, apparently.' :-)

Speaking of funny typos, I still remember a JAG fic which I was really enjoying. We'd gotten the happy couple wed, it was the last line of the fic, and then came, "Now presenting for the first time in pubic-"

I laughed so hard the dogs came to check on me. Not what the author was going for, I think.

Oh my life - best typo ever :)
In fact may I borrow it? Well, something like it anyway. It would fit perfectly in a fic I've got half drafted ;)

I happily bequeath you my typo as is, or modified in any way which you see fit. :-)

Priceless!

To my embarrassment, I didn't even register it as a typo to begin with. Possibly because I consider the sight of a sleepy, grumpy, pre-tea John on the stairs as an actual treat.

Thank you! Sherlock is most grateful :)

Well, considering it's a word, it's only an actual typo in my head because it wasn't the word I meant to type. John in most forms is a treat. :-)

Isn't he, though? *sigh*
