my favorite typo
I don't typically make great claims for myself in matters involving physical coordination or dexterity, but I type really really fast (for someone who's not a trained typist). Like a good 60-70 wpm when I'm on a roll.
And for ages I have habitually closed e-mail messages with "Best regards," -- I'm not sure why, I guess maybe because it's sufficiently vague that one might actually mean it, as opposed to say "sincerely yours," which generally people aren't in e-mails.
But anyway, when I'm harried, stressed, or in a rush, I invariably have to catch myself because I'll write "Beset regards" instead. And it always makes me smile, because it's even truer than "Best." Someday I'm going to say the hell with it and just start closing my e-mails with that deliberately.
Someday when I'm in a much more senior position than I'm in now, that is.
