Now, thinking back to the grammar grinch thread ... here's an example of a typo adding an unexpected extra.Originally Posted by fishdr
They are quite a site up close! We almost hit one on a Wildlife Biology field trip when I was an undergrad. It was munching on something dead in the road and flew up right over the windshield. It covered the entire window. Whoa!These birds are such a sight they're even a site -- so big you could practically build on them. In fact, a bit of creative spelling may be the only way to communicate a sound pun in writing. Guess it's the "accidentals" (which may sometimes be intentional) that make language fun!

I've been extra careful with the grammar police running rampant around here this week. Yah... it was intentionally creative spelling... I like that...I wish...I have a knack for the puns, as you know, but unfortunately this wasn't one of them
