I deleted JT's post before my reply came to mind, so pretend this is a<br>
reply to his.<br>

Are there any commands you type incorrectly so often that you make an<br>
alias for it?<br>

The only drawback to aliases, is, just liek speed dial. You forget the
real syntax. I have forgetten how to validate my icinga config
manually, because I've used an alias since day 2-3. Bash history would
get me the same thing without rotting my brain.<br>
