Heh. Reminds me of an Instant Message I had a while ago with a friend who participated in the national spelling bee. During the course of that IM, I made a typo and said that I had been "obessing" over something; my friend hasn't let me live that one down since. The worst thing is that I'm usually a compulsive proofreader myself, yet I didn't notice the typo until she pointed it out...
