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?

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.
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 :)

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.
Well whether it's doggy dog or dog eat dog, only the fittest get to survived, past tense of course. I'm kinda shocked after that first dumpster fire of a word salad sentence, they followed with the complicated statement: "the conquering, subjugating and enslaving of people..." Who else was shocked by that vocabularic turnaround???
"totally natural" would also be running around naked, starving and nurturing tapeworms. Humans have been spending millennia trying to get away from that and suddenly it's an adequate excuse for exploitation...

Nope sorry it actually has punctuation. My brain remembered otherwise

Actually, "eavesdroppers" are so called after the mini-busts (head and shoulders human figures) set in the eaves of Hampton Court Palace. Henry VIII had them put there to remind the courtiers that they were always being listened to, even when they thought they were alone.

Read with your kids, folks. Foster a love of books... or one day, they'll be a meme.
One time I Said "ejaculation seat" instead of "ejection seat" when I was 13. So mortifying. So bad.
I said brassiere instead of brasserie in my French o level spoken exam. My face was so rouge

Most of these are a result of either voice-to-text, or autocorrect. Edit: yes I know people are capable of dumb mistakes even without those, I'm a professional editor/proof reader...
Does no one proof read anymore? Can't always blame auto correct

My wife constantly asks me how to spell stuff, largely because she learned how to spell phonetically. And that's where most of these are a result of (I suspect).
I saw a post on Nextdoor once where the person was looking for a used laptop because she was a collage student and I had to really fight the urge to ask if she was only a student of collage or if she had considered studying other forms of art.
But in general, I try not to be too judgemental. Try to understand what they are trying to communicate even if they aren't able to do it perfectly.

Are these auto correct or voice recognition failures? Some of them look like subtitles on live TV.
I feel like people who read are much less inclined to make mistakes like these. When you see words and phrases spelled out in black and white, you can't help but learn the right way. Non-readers may never see terms in print so just jump to the nearest conclusion their ears can point them to. Still, it would be nice if it at least made some kind of sense.
A few hours earlier I texted my friend “give me a sex” while I meant “give me a sec”
Reagan discontinued free/affordable college bc he knew that an educated population is harder to control. And here we are.
Reagan, and then several others destroyed the ejaculation, but I think autocorrect and typos caused most of these
