gaffe (găf) n. a social blunder; a faux pas.
Yeesh. I sat at school today and thought about the word "vacuum" and thought that I had misspelled it not once, but TWICE on today's DN. I decided to give it a once over since sometimes I'm writing the thing when exhausted. I came upon a staggering FOUR gaffes today! I catch the stuff usually, because at three in the morning I'm often allowing my fingers to do the walking. The other night I spelled "aloud" "allowed" (almost used the wrong one but caught it) due to the hour of the night. Here are the FOUR gaffes from today's. Gawd 'elp me!
15 embroidery (gaffe: embroidory. Seriously dude.)
17 fiery. (gaffe: firey. Okay, easier to understand but still stooooopit.)
18 arguably. (gaffe: aruably. Obviously I know there's a "g" after the ar.)
34 vacuum. (DOUBLE gaffe: vaccum. I wonder how many times I've done THAT one.)
35 vacuum. (gaffe: see above, # 34.)
I'm hoping my middle-of-the night non-editing hasn't throne mispelings anyware esle.
Had to make this right.
Cheers!
