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?

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
Meme Contemplations
Well you see, philosophers like me just didn't have the time to contemplate the workings of a morally questionable video game. We were far too busy watching cute cats and dogs...

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
Load More Replies...I’ve proofread HS essays written by hand. “Most”, is extremely generous of you.
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.
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
