Misplaced or missing letters can dangerously alter the mood of the story. Here are some examples:
awww vs. ewww
taunt vs. taut
trainer vs. trailer
spout vs. sprout
nose vs. hose
kink vs. kinky
dad vs. dead
give 'em hell vs. give 'em help

To all you A-Z bloggers out there, congratulations on a job well done! Your posts were so much fun to read.
