Web-inspired dictionary

Saturday, October 23rd, 2004

I’ve decided to create a new category of posts. You know how there is the redneck dictionary or the Texas dictionary? Things like that? Yeah, that’s right, that’s what I’m talking about. Well, I have noticed the abundance of typos on the world wide web, and some of them are just downright funny. I am compiling a list and will post a “typo,” complete with the word’s new definition. to start:

ariel photographs: n. plural form. pictures taken of the little mermaid, usually in a suggestive pose.

thank you brother, for your typo in our comments section. more to follow.
