In today's world typos are a result of autocorrect rather hitting the wrong key. Especially hitting the wrong key leads to a misspelling and autocorrect leads to a completely different word. As a Jewish person I couldn't have pulled out any hostile intent from the posted sentence. But over the years I have been in conversations where somebody apologizes to me before I realized what he said could be taken as antisemitic. It's just not always clear. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
