I 25f type very fast on my phone and sometimes have spelling errors/grammar mistakes, but as this is a text, I don’t think it’s that important. I just need the person who I send a message understand what I mean. I know it irritates my husband, as he has talked to me about it before and for him I usually double check my texts, but last night it slipped my mind.

I texted my husband a shopping list as my SIL and her family were coming for dinner and asked him to get some things after work. As I typed quickly, I had written coconut mlik instead of coconut milk. I was making thai green curry, but I realised I didn’t have a tin at home, and I had made the curry before my husband was back, I just needed to add the coconut milk and reheat it for when my inlaws would come.

When he got home, I realised he had brought everything I put on the list, except the coconut milk. I got annoyed when asked him why he didn’t bring that, and he said he couldn’t understand what I meant and that next time I should check my spelling before sending a text. I then told my husband to then figure out what we were serving SIL, because it wasn’t thai green curry as he didn’t bring the coconut milk. I left my husband to then figure out dinner and he got us all takeout instead which he was upset about doing as he had a hard day at work and I was at home.
