A funny typo...
-
While debugging my coworker's code in order to fix spell checking I stumbled upon this method:
private void highlightMisspeledWords()
{what an irony.

Intentional?

I think it's a fundamental law of the universe (the Law of Irony?), that whenever someone is talking about spelling / grammar they will make an error with spelling or grammar.
Particularly when you are correcting someone else, although I suppose it still applies in this kind of situation.

I believe it's enshrined in the ISO standard for internet flaming.

Every time I am obnoxious enough to correct misspelings, I always intentionally misspell 'misspell'. I don't know why. Maybe to not seem such a jerk ;)
So I would say this was intentional.

I personally prefer Miss Wet T-Shirt.. guess Zeeshan Shakeel begs to differ.

I think the recommended method is to make a spelling mistake when correcting grammar (a good one is to misspell it "grammer"), and a grammatical mistake when correcting spelling.
Then the cycle can continue :)
