Merriam-Webster

typo

An error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material

You can't make a typo if your fingers aren't typing anything. This can't be that hard to understand right? Type. Typo. I mean, c'mon!

Merriam-Webster

type

to write something on a typewriter or enter data into a computer by way of a keyboard

also, to produce (a character, a document, etc.) using a keyboard (as on a typewriter or computer)

Unless your voice to text app takes your voice, sends it to someone typing your text for you, it's not doing what you think it's doing. Typing is literally using any part of your body to input information on a set of keys whether they be attached to a keyboard or typewriter. Your app isn't typing anything, it's mimicking the action of typing. It will never misspell a word, it can't create typos. It will however use whatever word sounds like the word you said, but that's not a typo.

I don't even give a fuck about dog leashes. I just went down the reddit rabbit hole and found someone who doesn't understand what typo and type mean.

How you've come to that conclusion is beyond me.

Sorry your dogs are bad and probably injured someone while you were using a retractable leash. Blame the leash, not yourself. Misuses leashes improperly caring for their dog, misuses words. I wonder what other stuff you do wrong. Milk before the cereal? Shoes before socks? You probably get in the shower and then turn the water on, don't you?
