Gonçalo Ferreira Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 There are no typing errors: "To err is uman."
Ophiolite Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Since uman is not a word I recognise the sentence has no meaning for me. Since there is a phrase in which uman is replaced by human and since these two words are almost the same, one might suspect that uman has been typed in error. That is then mildly humourous, if it has been done deliberately.
swansont Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 It's meant to be ironic, since there is a spelling error, even if it is intentional. 1
Gonçalo Ferreira Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Since uman is not a word I recognise the sentence has no meaning for me. Since there is a phrase in which uman is replaced by human and since these two words are almost the same, one might suspect that uman has been typed in error. That is then mildly humourous, if it has been done deliberately. I repeat: there are no typing errors. "uman" is not a word, but, sometimes the meaning and freedom of writing overcomes the prision that rules are. It's meant to be ironic, since there is a spelling error, even if it is intentional. It is intentional.
Appolinaria Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 so what's the point here, are you trying to tell us youre not a human since it was intentional? is that it?
