Wow, did _everyone_ miss the "spelling geek" crack?

Joke, Sam, it was a _joke_.

What you wrote was that alcohol dilutes the veins.  What you _meant_ to
write, had you paid attention to the spelling geek, was that it dilates the
veins!  Which perhaps we knew already?

Or do I just have to give up on making jokes about spelling mistakes and
typos?!?

But just imagine if alcohol diluted your veins, it would be really gross!
