A funny Essay for Jerry Pinto

My new year’s resolution was to type text messages with less typos but it’s not going to plan.

I type with a lot of typos not because I don’t know grammar or how to spell words, but it’s just my fat fingers. I have written farts for fairies, slave for salad. I once texted my mom saying “I am going to have a slave at German Bakery, don’t make lunch”.

I have tried to adjust my keypad to space out the alphabets but nothing works for my fat fingers. One of the worst one’s I remember was when I typed dead for dear. “Happy Birthday dead Carina” I wished my sister. She understands I do not like her as much, so I did not bother to correct it. I would have been “dead” had I sent it to someone else.

I try to read and reread my text messages before I send them out but it takes so long that I miss the timing of the conversation. Now I am becoming an outcast cause I barely respond. If I respond I look dumb. So ultimately no one will want to talk to me anyway; How nice!

My friends! how do they deal with me, if you wonder. I give them second hand embarrassment. That’s all. They take me as I am. I had a euphoric moment while typing the last sentence. I realised how nice my friends are. On second thoughts, are they just using me to have a laugh! I have to recheck on my “euphoria”.

However the other day, I found someone who makes worse typos than me. I could not believe it, honestly. So here goes the funniest typo I have read in SCM this year. The new boy in our class typed to Smruti ma’am,

“Dear ma’am due to continue net failure in my area,

I won be available in today’s class.

Thanks

Snack”

He called himself a Snack! In slang, Snack is someone who is deliciously cute. If you are better than a snack, you are a Full Course Meal. I do not think I can beat him after that. I could not have been happier. I then decide to forward that text on a chat room with my friends, thinking they’ll laugh at the new guy and forget all about my deadly typos. Here goes my chat room conversation,

Divya: Found someone you makes worst typos that me hahahah

Jash: She says with a message FULL of typos xD.

Divya:omggggg

*Found someone who makes worse typos than me.

Kill me :)

I do not know what to do with myself to be honest. I think it is because I have too many ideas in my head. In the haste to type it all out, I tend to type too fast and misspell. My phone then auto-corrects it to something else. I do not know what the problem is or how to solve it so I am just choosing to laugh about it.
