So I'm sure most of you here have mis-interpreted a unit's name or someone's message or command before.
List here the ones that stick in your mind the most.
One of my most OP typos was when I asked Joe4holly to attack Lazy's cav with his 'pies'.
And a unit name I misread before that was quite hilarious at the time was 'Naive Scout'.
And another funny moment was when I was playing a team game with a Brigadier a few months ago. I said 'let's go' to my team. Nobody moved. I then said 'CHARGEEE!', and the Brigadier did...
He charged his cavalry right into an army of halberdiers. (D'oh)

yup, i think it was with kristop
he typed Fail elephant and corrected himself, i just said
"no need to correct man, no typo really, they DO fail^^" :-P
plus, there was one with Deadhanddans French Explorer, he didn't know what "hand" means on french and ended up with a complete wrong word which sounded :roll:
he corrected it though

LOL Hydro: I can see how a naive spy would not be very effective. After all, spies need to know a thing or two about people and the world in order to do their jobs well
People would just walk all over a naive spy; a naive spy would ask for directions when he is supposed to be under cover. He would stick out like a sore thumb.

LOL. Oh man I've seen a lot of funny typos. Kinda related in my earlier days I finished a game and a guy said WP. I asked him what it stood for and he said "White Power."
I was kind of like what the hell, and just left the game... well several more WP's later I was beginning to think the AOE community was some kind of white supremacy group. Then someone informed me the real meaning of WP. LOL.

Heh, that gave me quite a laugh.
Another one that just sprung to mind. I asked some guy who was playing as the Spanish where his cavalry was, and he replied that he was training some 'War hogs'.
They would have been OP too - shame... ::/

One of the most annoying typo's for me is "pwn". People use the letters "pwn" instead of "own", and it all started when someone made a typo.

FTW used to have an entirely different meaning when I was in high school. Today, "for the win", back then, "%*$* the world". Used to think Ages was a very vulgar community that said very strange things.
Then later, I learned that was true but not for the reasons I thought.

Ohh that reminds me of my early days online right after TWC came out I was still playing vanilla and I used spain as my main civ, though I was only a private then so I loved to sneak my war dogs around the enemies army aqnd have them take out a cannon before my enemy realized what was killing his cannons

It just shows how people on a lot of forums are sheep. A recent trend is the "epic fail" post. Whenever someone gets a chance to write it in a post.... there it is!!!
