Misspelled words are the bane of any fast-fingered texter, but they can have their upsides too.

In the case of 18-year-old Neve McGuinness form Newcastle, UK, they can help you go viral.

McGuinness posted the tweet below on Sunday. The picture is a screengrab of her phone showing three messages from her boyfriend Lee.

As far as misspelled words go, he really nailed it.

2,000+ retweets and counting on that one. Sometimes it's the truly silly things that capture the internet's heart.
