Seriously, would that be a spoonerism or an anagram? Or, is it some other kind of thing?
Does it have a name?

Oh, I just thought of the word. I think maybe....malapropism.

I remember when someone was learning C# syntax and they kept typing pubic ...
Makes me wonder why their finger-memory was keyed on the phrase.

Lately, even though I must've typed it a million times before, I find myself typing "Microsot".
We all know what "micro" means, and it turns out a "sot" is "a habitual drunkard".
The universe must be trying to tell me something...

I work in the print industry, so I type the word "print" in my code frequently.
Well, after I correct it, that is. It almost always comes up "pint" the first time through for some odd reason? ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

What I hate is when your text message is messed up and you send a text totally different from what you intended, and then have to explain that you really did not mean to say that. Then there are the cases you try to send a message with a word not in the dictionary, or what is considered a dirty word and it does not want to allow you to send it.

Dua Lipa - Be The One[^]
After two weeks of vacation there's finally a new SOTW! (I know you guys are eagerly waiting for it every week) 
This week it's a hit song I heard on the radio while on vacation.
It's been on repeat ever since I got back

This opportunist took my crown. I don't know if you have spotted group in your cities. But it's the best thing on Feb. Basically anything gets posted from thefts to rants about litter etc. its amusing though as it has developed into a who can post the funniest comment competition. I was pleased with my subtle comment on a post warning about a drunk masterbating on a park bench "he better not come near me". Probably to subtle for a lot of people . But this guy definitely wonhttp://s17.postimg.org/6yvwkl33z/image.png[^] this week.

It makes me wonder just who his offspring are going to breed with.
If they are that endangered, there's got to be a very high risk of cosanguination ...
What made me laugh was the link on the same page: New giant tortoise species discovered on Galapagos Islands[^]
How hard do you have to look to spot a Giant species?

Perhaps they mistook it for an island...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
