ONE WRONG ALPHABET LETTER CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
MISTAKE
I'm sure, I think,
most of us have
made a similar
mistake in thinking
we were using
the right word
and spelling it
correctly but
discovered, either
sooner or later,
we had made a mistake
by using the wrong letter.
My recent one was
meaning to say,
"I love the taste of GUM"
In a note to a friend about
the sugar in chewing gum.
BUT
I wrote instead,
"I love the taste of CUM."
OMG!
He fired back, "REALLY?"
The exchange of one letter!
Then I thought for
a moment and concluded
(Guess what?)...Maybe I
should try it? What would
YOU
have done?

🤣🤣omg this is hilarious. What a huge typo indeed? But it doesn't seem you regret it so it worked for the write.
