I'm currently writing some code which is supposed to, without going into too many technical details, does something with some parity bits.
An attempt to compile it produced errors. Upon investigation, turns out, in several places I spelled "parity" as "party".

Hmm, I wonder what is it that I'd like to be doing right now instead of being at work.

Oooh this'll be a funny thread.

I type on my phone a lot and butterfinger a lot of typos, but nothing comical comes to mind.

Oh. Not a Freudian typo, but my phone insists oooh should be pooh.

X o' clock, minus the l. I always forget it for some reason.

Haha, this reminds me. I teach math, and sometimes when writing y=secx I drop the c.

Not a Freudian typo per se, but I did once accidentally send a client email with the sign-off "Kind retards" rather than "Kind regards".

I swiftly converted to the ways of the auto-sig after that...

The b on my laptop is a little stuck, leading to interesting typos.

I was teaching about histograms. There are many kinds: frequency, relative, cumulative, combinations of these. I often abbreviate them. I abbreviated cumulative to *** once in front of my class.

Also, I've had classes called analysis. Imagine the abbreviation for that one. So your cumulative analysis final...
