Twitter

Twitter is an interesting creature. By its micro-blogging and easy following nature, it gets used a lot for things like liveblogs, reporting on news the moment it happens. As such it is easy to make typos and other small mistakes in an effort to get the ideas across quickly.

This particular post from Extra Life was actually pretty funny in its errors:
The World of Warcraft Programming guild vol 2 is up! My art on the cover. http://tinyurl.com/yhxkbgr

Specifically, I like how he mis-typed the word "guide" and it became a term used in the game itself.

But, it's a word, too!

From Joystiq:

There's not a lot of news to report, but, as you know, that's never stopped up from talking a bunch before.

I think it's pretty obvious that he means "us" here.
