Dude...it is 0.2BTC.  118.9USD.  Get a job, make the money back, and get on with your life.

What if he is from some third world country and 120$ is huge amount to earn? I would just give up on my BTC if this kind of mistake happens to me.

If it was, he'd better read before clicking buttons.

did i just lose a .2btc transaction because the fee was set at .2btc?

Aww man, I'm so sorry reading that!! Things can be confusing in advanced settings, yeah... Better just stick to the regular send-feature! I once almost screwed up with those long Bitcoin addresses. Mixed up a few numbers or letters. It was already pretty late and I was out partying!

FYI:  Bitcoin addresses have a built in "checksum" so if you type any digit incorrectly it will not be accepted as a valid Bitcoin address.  You would have to change and swap the letters and digits in a very non trivial way in order to accidently create another valid address - for all practical purposes it is impossible.  If you do manage to be lucky enough to mistype an address in such a way as to create a different valid address then you are so lucky you should be playing the lotto every chance you get.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

The OP did not send funds to an invalid address, he gave way to much of a fee to the miner that confirmed his TX.

It is really not possible in practice to mess up typing a BTC address. Your wallet program would likely not allow it, as if you make a typo it would most likely show up as being an invalid address. What could happen, and does somewhat frequently happen is you could copy the incorrect address to send the funds to. This is a similar but different problem that the OP had, as the OP setup the TX so too big of a fee would be given to the miners.

If there's one criticism I have of blockchain.info it's that you have to manually input the fee so I can see how this could happen. It should be autofilled with the suggested amount based on what transaction you're attempting to send.
The problem with this is that most transactions will eventually get confirmed within 24 hours even without a fee. If you are sending what most would consider to be dust and/or Blockchain spam then no it probably won't but if you are sending a tx that is actually involved in commerce the it probably will. Commerce Tx usually have exactly two outputs (one for the the person you are sending to and one chance address).

Some transactions will also not get confirmed in the next block that is found even with the recommend TX fee. If you were to use a larger fee then the chances the TX will be confirmed in the very next block are much larger.

I think the OP's situation is an important lesson of the importance of attention to detail when using BTC.
