This is just a small drabble inspired by my spell-checker breaking. These are some of the mistakes I made whilst typing away!

"Watson?"
I looked up from my book, and said, grumpily, "What?"
"Have you seen the newest edition of the Strand?"
"No." I was surprised "Have you?"
"I do make a point of reading your narratives, Watson."
My hackles rose. It had not been a good day today, and I was felling a little snappish. "What are your criticisms this time?"
"Well, the story is quite satisfactory."
"Praise indeed!"
"But there is one thing…"
"I thought there might be…"
"It is the spelling."
"Dash it all, Holmes! It cannot be that bad. I am a Doctor, not a type-setter."
"You have not read it?"
"No. I have not."
"Well, there is the line which proclaims the name of our client spelt wrongly…"
"His name was Mcyslaivsalv. You cannot blame them for that…"
"Then there is the name of the village. Instead of Frithspawn, they have it down as 'Frogspawn'. I do not think the inhabitants will be very happy to learn that they live in the proud village of Frogspawn-upon-lake."
"I admit, that could be unfortunate…"
"There is one more mistake, Watson, that is rather more serious…"
"Only one?"
"Well, there are more, but this is the most embarrassing."
"What is it?" Holmes handed the paper to me. I read, We reached the house at Baker Street, and Holmes leapt into action, pulling books off shelves in his haste to find his notes. "Watson!" he cried to me, "Find the keys for this cabinet. I must have access to my flies!"
"You see?"
"I must have access to my flies?"
We looked at each other, and burst into fits of laughter.
