Last night’s comment typo

This just a quickie post about a grammatical error I made in a comment last night. It was an error that caused me to do a very rare thing: smile.

Maybe it was caused by the tequila. Maybe it was just the normal way my fingers tend to disconnect themselves from my brain during the act of typing.

What I wrote:

“No doubt some have sacrificed others.”

What I meant to write:

“No doubt some have sacrificed for others.”

Two slightly different meanings, eh? 🙂

The first phrase I find to be amusing and rather serendipitous. It is now a leading contender for a new line of t-shirts! Or maybe a book I have planned regarding daily negativity musings. 🙂

  2. I’m more on board with the T-shirts idea and think they should be made of some highly flammable material so they’d be easier to sacrifice during rituals.

    1. Great idea and a good example of “outside of the box” thinking. That is really taking an idea to the next level! 🙂

  5. Sometimes I hate it that you can’t edit your comments on another blog. In this instance (at least, if I had seen it first hand), the giggle factor is so high that I’m glad you can’t edit.

  6. Sounds very biblical! 🙂

    I’d like to be able to edit my comments on other blogs, too. Sometimes total deletion is in order, as well.
