So, best typo I've seen in a long time. Looking at a transcript of conversation between two people, one from a 'richer' suburb and one from from a 'poorer' suburb. This is while following an audio recording of the conversation as well. At this point, the one from the 'richer' suburb asks are there many ethnics in [poorer suburb]? And the other one says "I don't think there are many ethnics around this way." Keep in mind this is Tasmania, which is clearly more anglo-saxon than any other Australian state, due mostly to isolation rather than profiling or what have you (at least, I hope so). But anyway, the typo in the transcript says "I don't think there are many ethics around this way." This made me chortle a good deal.
Also I was looking today, and I realised by some strange twist of fate, I've gone against the normal trend and I have worse grammar, syntax and spelling when I write than I do when I type. By this I mean no sentence structure, no capitalisation and general disregard of small words. This is mostly because of how I write normally, which is quick note taking in lectures and such, which demands efficiency. By 'the trend' I mean the people who resort to text talk and not bothering with spelling on your phones and the Internet. Anyway, just an observation.
Also my Breaking Bad S4 deebeedee came today and since I haven't seen any of yet, I'm excite. Because I actually can wait for shows to become legal.
