An odd source of inspiration

Quote by charmbrights
I noticed today that if you change one letter in "flattered" it becomes "flattened" which is quite the contrary.

So - a story which depends on a one letter typo of that ilk in an email, txt msg, note, or even "dear John" changing the perceived intent of the writer and hence the whole outcome?

That is true, like the photo says...




Two very different stories, depending on which way one chooses to punctuate.



The question for me would be, does one prefer to write one story, or both to see what happens? If it is merely a single typo, a good writer should, in my opinion, be able to make it clear that it was a typo through the rest of their writing. Unless it's a typo continued all the way through the work which is laid out as if it was spelt the other way, in which case I'd be scratching my head...
