I posted the first chapter of my new story today and one of my loyal reviewers told me there were a few typos. I checked yet again(I'd read it through 4 times already) and found I'd put this.
"It was common enough amongst the nobility but he could not bring himself to engage in martial intimacies without love and Arwen was the only women he had ever been in love with."
The mind boggles ! ;D

I can't rid myself now of an image of Aragorn and Arwen indulging in tai kwondo.

*laughs uncontrollably* *recovers just enough to add a typo* Written on the whiteboard in our Physics classroom: "Miss White has your science boobs" That was a fun lesson.  |

*giggle* Science is more fun when you can make it dirty. (I have a knack for that... my last commentary on photosynthesis served to entertain my classmates for what was otherwise a very dull period...) |

Photosynthesis - imagine, if you lived in Middle-earth, you'd have a guest lecturer, either an Elf or an Ent, to explain the process in a lively manner.

*Imagines this*
Gosh. O.O
Of course, lessons are never dull when one of your classmates is yelling about "plants waving their sexy bits around".

For the record, the commentary was for the benefit of the other science nerds at my table and not yelled to the class at large. I highly doubt that my instructor would have taken that too well. ;D Of course, things don't really get steamy until the "photons" "stimulate" the "electrons" so that they become "excited" and bounce around the "electron transport chain" until they hit the "reaction center"...  |

Linda, that's classic!  Maybe we should have a thread to talk - and laugh - about typos. Oops. Edited to add that I should pay attention to the thread headings...... |

Hi guys! It feels like it's been ages...well, maybe it has been.
I have a great typo as well. I was writing my current fic and my beta found an error which I had read over at least five different times and had not noticed.
"...the Elves generally did not like pubic displays of affection"
I howled for 20 minutes when I read that and then thanked my lucky stars that I had a beta!

. "...the Elves generally did not like pubic displays of affection" That's wonderful. The best humour sometimes is that which isn't contrived. |

I think my typo followed by lucidity's would actually read as one very naughty but comprehensible sentence seeing as Aragorn's wife is an Elf. |
