How serious are the consequences of writing typos?

China's culture is profound, and Chinese characters are one of them. As a kind of writing, in order to express clear meaning, it is naturally necessary to be rigorous. However, from ancient times to now, some people have been writing typos, which have caused jokes and serious consequences since childhood. From online search, we can find many farce caused by typos, such as:

In the early years of the Republic of China, a military inspector was offended by the words of one of his quartermaster, and ordered: "Strike thirty sticks."

The quartermaster was taken outside the barracks and the soldiers lined up with guns. At the command of the officer, the quartermaster was hit with holes all over with a bang.

The supervisor was drinking tea in the study when he suddenly heard gunshots and asked why. These people reported that the quartermaster had been executed. The supervisor was surprised: "Who told you to shoot him?" His men handed over the imperial edict written by the supervisor personally, only to see four big words on it: "shoot 30 people." It turned out that the supervisor misspelled the word "stick" into "gun" A word difference, waste to send men's lives.

In my opinion, there is still a big difference between the words stick and gun. I think there is a mistake. Part of the reason was that people didn't pay enough attention to words at that time. People think that speaking is enough, but this example tells us profoundly that we should never underestimate the writing of Chinese characters. A person's name can be said to accompany this person's life. If you can't even write your own name, or you don't know what's wrong, how sad it will be. Speaking of which, it suddenly occurred to me that when my brother was in the first grade of primary school, he once caused a farce because he couldn't write his own name. In retrospect, it was partly because of his parents that he forgot to teach his younger brother how to write his own name. Personally, I think it's really interesting to pick the wrong words in primary school. Through such questions, let us remember the correct spelling of words from an early age and avoid misleading jokes when writing articles or notices in the future.

In order to attract customers, some merchants have created some onomatopoeic four-character idioms, such as "riding" has endless fun. Although it is very creative, it has a bad influence on teenagers who are not familiar with written words.

It is impossible to make typos disappear from the world. What we can do is to avoid writing typos as much as possible, otherwise it may really lead to disaster.
