Why spelling matters. (NWR)

Just got an email from my son's high school.

The subject?

"Hose an Australian Exchange Student."

This is an unfortunate typo. I am seriously cracking up. I may compose an outraged reply, just for fun. 

They love it when I email them.

Hahaha. That is fantastic. Maybe just send them an e-mail with a picture of a garden hose. See if they can figure it out.

haha. I read it "correctly" the first time. I had to reread it to see the error.

Hahaha! That is great.

Lmao, that's hilarious!

That sounds like "dunk the teacher" or one of those other School Carnival games. Except weird and surreal.

I don't think the Australian moms are going to like this.

Technically, there's no spelling error. It's a grammar error.

So, are you considering hosing an Australian exchange student?

One of my colleagues in grad school once sent an email (to the entire program including incoming students) and signed it: 

"Kind retards, 

Jane"

Obviously she meant "Kind regards" but failed to proof-read before hitting send =/

Hmm. I would think spelling hose instead of host would make it a spelling error.

Nope. Not hosing a student. Or hosting one. One teenager per household is as much as I can stand.

I used to work at a company called "Turf-Rite" and sometimes we got mail to "Turd-Rite".

Let's eat, grandma.

It could be an attempt to "house" a student... So many possibilities.
