40 Times People Thought They Were Writing One Thing, But Ended Up With Another (New Pics)
In August 2016, a Facebook post started going viral. Made by Dunta Pickett, it had a photo of his birthday dinner and a caption in which Dunta wished himself "bone apple tea" instead of "bon appétit".
This fun little typo got so famous that it even inspired a meme format for any misspelling that involves replacing words with similar-sounding alternatives which, in turn, led to the creation of a subreddit collecting the best ones so they wouldn't go to waste.
r/BoneAppleTea is now a community with 1.2 million members and is one of those places that you scroll through and think to yourself, 'This is what the internet was made for.' After all, who doesn't enjoy an innocent laugh at a stranger's expense?

All guinea pigs are genuine. They don’t have the capacity to be anything else
Are they genuine pigs? Generally-swine pigs? Guinea kids? Mini bigs? I'm all sorts-a confused. Tony Tee is right though, they're def genuine cuties, whether they're pigs or not is up for debate, (except I'm sure they're not pigs ;) CUTENESS!

When you think about it, it makes perfect sense: after all, don’t you imagine that Peeping Toms handle their peepees while peeping?
Load More Replies...Well, if a Peeping Tom is also pee peeing in a public place, that would be illegal too.
To fair being whatever a 'pee pee Tom' is in public is probably illegal too.

I'm so glad you said this, because I had no idea what this was about.

Can you imagine this person ordering it at the restaurant? The staff had a good laugh for sure.
Is there cauliflower on this pizza? I can't see. I have never had pizza with cauliflower.

Air Ducks
Do you mean the Duckman? Because that would be hilarious 😂
Load More Replies...But when is it EVER the right time to ask for air duck and dryer duck cleaning??? Before they fly south obviously, but WHEN OH WHEN is it appropriate to clean all your ducks???
Loud noises will usually make them fly away. But be careful - sometimes their feathers can clog your air & dryer DUCTS.
heehehhe... picturing these cute little ducks popping their heads out from the vent covers to say hello at random times throughout the day.
Clean the air ducks once a week on sunny days and the dryer ducks every second Tuesday of the month. Make sure not to give them any grapes.
I just use some of Dr Duck's Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce (because without, it this whole planet would be totally lost!)
I'd try one of these.....https://www.quackbrush.com/products/new-little-yellow-duck-steel-ball-pot-brush-cleaner
I Found This Up Hauling
They called me illiterate but that's a dirty lie. My parents were married the day before I wuz born.
That makes you illegitimate not illiterate . But not knowing the difference between those 2 words DOES suggest you are illiterate.
Load More Replies...People who use the term "body count" are weird as f**k. Did you murder all of your sexual partners?
I think if you do, you can subtract them from your number
Load More Replies...Every time I see body count, I think they're saying essentially BMI, like body mass index, and I feel like they're all complaining about their weight issues at first
Every time I see it I think it's talking about the amount of people they've murdered lol
Load More Replies...Such nonsense. I value intimacy and relationship a LOT, and I find it n'either up hauling or appalling if my partner or future partner has had sex with a lot of people before he met me. If he had a great time back then, then I am happy for him. It has nothing to do with our relationship. Whether he had sex with lots of people or with a few people or with no-one yet, our relationship will just be as meaningful and deep and intimate and fulfilling. The quality of our relationship is based on our connection, not on what we shared or didn't share with other people before. Is your friendship with your best friend less meaningful if he/she had another best friend before they met you?
Like I assured an elderly friend of mine, years ago, when she told me about her 4 marriages and then asked if I thought less of her for having had that many husbands? I asked her how long her last marriage had lasted, they were going on 45 years so I said "the ones you had before don't matter then, look how long this one has lasted". Sometimes I find the right words at the right time. She's since died but her widower (15 years younger than her) was looking less bereft the last time I saw him (around 5-6 years ago).
Load More Replies...Okaaaaay.... I'm officially - super officially old... I thought I was reading about serial killers for a hot second... I mean...body count - then up hauling... like... you dumped the body in the wrong place - now you have to move it...
Personally, a lower body count usually means they're less likely to have contracted some kind of STD or have as much baggage/trauma from past experiences. And they also suck at Call of Duty too.
This term body count is a new term. I've only heard in the past few months
My mind must’ve been too innocent to understand this cuz I thought they meant “b**y c***t” as in amount of bodies they murdered/buried
Doggy Dog
There's a scene in Dharma & Greg about this too. Dharma, a woman who was raised by these hippie parents and has this 'love and peace' type of attitude, simply refuses to believe her very down to earth husband when he says that it's not 'doggie dog world' but 'dog eat dog world', because that so goes against her view of the world. Great series by the way, definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it yet, it's incredibly funny and very sweet and wholesome.
Similar scene also in Modern Family between Gloria and Jay - maybe it was even influenced by Dharma & Greg :)
Load More Replies...English isn't my home language, I actually thought that this was the phrase untill I was 20
“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.”
Forget the spelling and grammar, what kind of f*ed up worldview is that? I’m sure if they were kidnapped, taken to a new continent, and enslaved for the rest of their life they’d say, “It’s fine. Obviously they’re superior to me and I deserve this.”
Oh look! the mentally deficient person supports slavery. Makes sense.
Well... I'd much rather it be a doggy dog world than a dog eat dog world.
Center Fudge
I know what it is... but my attempt to spell it will end up similar 😂 centrifuge.. help from autocorrect😅 it's a medical thing so seperate blood from plasma. I'm also possible talking rubbish.
You put the fudge in the middle, and it spins it until it separates it into its individual ingredients
... if you're selling lab equipment... it helps if you can at least come CLOSE to spelling it correctly - Center Fudge??? That... that speaks to some .. sort of very... niche kink. A very unsanitary one.
I'm assuming the sign was written by someone in the office, rather than a lab tech. This looks like a going out of business sale to me.

Bob Wire
I have heard sooooo many people actually pronounce it that way, and it’s not a matter of saying it like “bahb” wire, either. It is literally “bob” wire.
But if you're in the lower midwest/southwest, they're feuding. It's a tough Barb War down there.
Load More Replies...A lot of cowboys do call it bob wire. Source: I was married to a cowboy for 44 years and knew lots of other cowboys.

Load More Replies...My Nipple Ate
I hate it when illiterate people somehow manipulate the system to get accepted into college.
Can't believe professors would complain about students "not going to class" and "handing in work really late" - picky, picky. /s
Actually, so many of these seem to be because they used speech recognition, rather than typing it in themselves, and then not proof reading before sending.
nipple ate is probably a fetish somewhere. and no, i will not even try to google it.. i leant my lesson from blue waffle
I mean, if you're not going to class and submitting your work late, then the professor should probably tell the dean that you're clearly underperforming and that you may need assistance or academic counseling. Or both. And withdrawing from the class would save your GPA in most cases, so...
How is this person even officially enrolled in a place that would have professors when they spell like this...? ... and then are 'so smart' that they POST it somewhere... to advertise to the world "LOOKIT. I am so S-M-R-T!"

An ostrich brain fits in a teaspoon, hence bringing new meaning to the term Bird Brain

Somewhere And Terror
How do you mistake "some wear and tear" to "somewhere and terror"? XD Do they pronounce "terror" like "tear"?? D:
I dictate all damn day and you’d be surprised what comes out in the text. I annunciate and speak with an Urban Coastal California Accent. Which is the local accent for Silicon Valley & also typical television/film. I’ve decided it’s the rate at which I speak that accounts for unneeded commas and single words being processed at completely different compound words. (I spoke this entire comment and had to correct 3 errors)
Load More Replies...At least this one seems to be a dictation error, demonstrating the need to LOOK AT messages before sending them.
Has anyone advised you that typing words is all capitals is considered ‘shouting at’ the recipient/reader? I notice your comments seem to negatively criticise the grammatical ability of other people’s offerings - perhaps you might like to read your own comments well before sending them?!

Not going to lie... I've met a lot of nurses who are great at their jobs, but still can't spell for s**t. Even those of us who actually CAN spell are sometimes sitting there charting at around hour 11 out of 12, asking each other, "Did I spell this right?" 🤣. But - when working at a hospital - we have each other (and spell-check) when we chart. Nursing homes have barely any staff and still use paper charting... I can definitely see this being a result of that scenario...

Shootin Some Meatballs Outside The School
"Meatballs" does not equal "b-balls" (abbreviation for "basketballs") XD
I only check BP at work but I have to stop. Laughing and cackling out loud behind the desk is suspicious.
Maybe it's a new form of skeet shooting but they throw meatballs instead? Sure sounds much harder, and more fun
For the longest time, this is exactly what I thought the lyrics were. To this day, I still have a hard time not saying it that way.
I'm' definitely getting some Fresh Prince of Bel Air vibes from this.
Absorbent Amounts Of Coffee…
"Exorbitant". I was an English/Creative Writing major and reading this entry made my brain dumb. I literally stared at it for close to a minute before I realized what word they meant instead of "absorbent" XD
