I don't know, you disappear for a few weeks and come back spouting obscenities. You'll be making us all think you don't like us.  :-((

Unless, of course, that thread title was a typo and you meant egg custards. In which case, I'd be glad to take them off your hands.

1) Just because you cannot see something does not mean it aint there.

2) It's impossible for egg custards to be a typo of Eggy Farts.

3) You should have long ago realised I belong to that dying breed of people who actually proofread, usually automatically; if I had intended to write cutsards you would see custrads. 4) Any bets on who the dumbass will be...?

Wait, are you saying you're invisible now? :>

It's certainly possible for your thread title to be a typo. You may have been accidently thinking about custard tarts when typing farts, leading to an egg/fart/custard hybrid.

I proofread stuff too. Poor use of grammar as in using the wrong there/their/they're stands out a mile in my mind, to the point that I get angry that other people can't figure it out.

Also, what the hell are you talking about?

A typo is a physical failure, not a mental one.

Yore mind evidently lacks the capacity to comprehend such simplicity, and so is unlikely to have a depth anywhere near a mile.

I disagree, a typo can come about due to distraction.

Por ejemplo: You want to type something. Your mind controls your fingers as you type out what you're thinking of. You then glance out of the window. There's a lovely squirrel munching on a left over hamburger placed on a grit salt bin. Instead of typing the original sentence you now find yourself typing 'grit salt bin' as, and why wouldn't it be, the absolute focus of your attention.  :-@

That is not a matter for debate or disagreement, it is the definition of a typo: a misplacement of the fingers. An error caused by being distracted into writing something different is not a typo because you have deliberately - even if unconsciously - instructed your fingers where to go.

dys?

This is getting a bit philosophical. Can an unconscious act be called deliberate? Can it? Hmm? And is typo just short for "typographical error" and therefore not as specific as you claim? Is it? 

I don't know. I do know that you had a peculiar double or triple negative a few posts ago.
