I make a lot of homophonic errors. I think it's a muscle memory sort of issue, where I type the first word that sounds right without double-checking if I typed the right word. I really do not proofread my posts to lists and forums as well as I do my documents, so the errors get posted.

combined with an amazing obsession with sexual and
scatological topics.

Like I said, if employers started using support forums as a substitute for documentation and then hired technical writers to document those forums, it would be a nightmare.
