Eau De Colon - Why Something Smells Funny On Twitter

Previously I have written about the importance of paying attention to the use of grammar and spelling in your tweets, especially if you want to be taken seriously on Twitter. For lots of people, notably bosses, clients and colleagues, this stuff matters. First impressions count and, like it or not, we’re continuously judged by appearance, and this includes our ability to accurately craft a sentence.

Of course, not everybody cares about such frivolity, and sometimes that’s a good thing, because occasionally a typographical error on Twitter is so marvellous, and so hugely enjoyable, that a simple spelling mistake turns into something that quickly goes viral.

Consider this tweet from Jessica Howard, aka Twitter user @howie_lovee, which she sent earlier this morning.
