I took a couple semesters of typing in high school. The first semester was manual typewriters and the second semester was electric. There was a whole list of commonly mis-typed words that you often mis-typed even if you were looking for the word.
"Teh" instead of "The" is probably the most common. Another common mis-typed word is the word "its". Most people add the apostrophe which makes the word the contraction of "it is".
It should be, "Give the dog its bone" and not "Give the dog it's bone".

NO....it is more like tinytankpeashooter
Real artillery is putting a projectile beyond visual range, hitting a target a long way off, and when the projectile explodes, it has a kill radius of half a football field.
Hitting tanks with a small bore gun ( less than 100mm) or firing a fly swatter is not REAL artillery
When you pull the lanyard (the string that make it go boom) and you feel like you have just been chest bumped and you smell the muzzle blast....that Artillery.
I guess I am biased

T26E4 That's why if you ever see the word "flack" used, you should know it should be "Flak". But it's not nearly as bad as when I see people write/say "turrent" when they mean turret. Where did that ever come from?

That's a typo comon to anyone who has ever taken typing classes. Basically muscle memory due to the combination "-ent" being a common ending to many English words. You think a word and the fingers do the rest.
My last name is most commonly misspelled by adding a third "o". I'd often get a call saying my email bounced. I'd tell the caller to remove the third letter "o" in the email address and resend. It's because "-ious" is likewise a common ending to many English words. Most people wonder how I knew they added an extra "o". I tell them about half my certificates from the Army have my name misspelled as do most of my children's school achievement certificates.
While "turrent" is a true typo (meaning the writer knows how to spell "turret" and would properly spell it out if handwriting it or orally spelling it), I am amazed at how many people cannot spell the word "vinyl" correctly.

seen that one also thanks I appreciate the help.
Another one you may come across in reference to German weapons is "KwK" - Kampfwagenkanone or "Fighting Vehicle gun/cannon"
thank you !, that is exactly what I was trying to find out. anything I have in the way of books or could google walked all the way around it without actually stating what it meant.
Panzer Abwehr Kanone - simply translates to "Anti-tank gun", as "Flak" (Flieger Abwehr Kanone) translates to "Anti-aircraft gun"
Sorry the predictive text got it wrong it's panzer abhwer kanonen
Again sorry for that
thank you. I take it that is just a name without reference to powder charge, barrel length etc?
Panzer abhwer kanknen
