We asked you to share your embarrassing typos and you obliged – 21 ducking marvellous examples

Show me a person who’s never fallen foul of a typo or autocorrect and I’ll show you a ducking liar.

That’s why we asked you to tell us about those times when a wrong word has changed the meaning of a message – and we even shared one of our own.

As you can imagine, it gets a bit NSFW at times.
