50 Typos So Bad, You’ll Question Everything You’ve Ever Read

Autocorrect was made to help us — but sometimes, it just makes things worse. Even without it, our brains love to swap the right word for one that sounds right… but definitely isn’t.

We’ve all seen (or made) those hilarious mistakes where someone uses a real word, just in the wrong way. It makes sense in your head, but once it’s written down — total chaos.

Today, we’re sharing some of the funniest examples from r/BoneAppleTea, a subreddit where people post these epic word fails for everyone to enjoy.

1 Please Ejaculate!!

2. Salmon With Aspergers

3. Corporate

4. My Chlamydia Is In Full Bloom

5. Dire Rear, Wrong But Still Somehow Right

6. Tumor Rick

Back in school, we had teachers armed with red pens and a never-ending supply of patience to swoop in and save our essays from total disaster. They’d circle our mix-ups, scribble a note in the margin, and life would move on. But in the adult world?

7. Ham Basket

8. Pet Eat

9. Genesis Squash

To get a bit more insight into how we keep falling for these word mix-ups, we spoke to Rosemary Joseph, an English teacher who’s spent over a decade guiding 10th graders through the wild world of spelling and grammar in India. She chuckles, “Spelling mistakes? Everyone makes them. Kids, grown-ups, no one’s immune. It’s just part of learning.” And let’s face it, some mistakes make for the best stories later.
