Delightfully Dumb Spelling Failures That Mangled Words

We're trying not to be sticklers here. Spelling is a skill, and it's annoying to have someone up in your face telling you exactly how many "m"s and "r"s are in tomor…tommorro… the day after today. But man, people are really bad at this. And they're bad at spelling in increasingly strange ways. It almost makes us feel good to see someone else spell worse than us. Almost.

Is it reassuring to see someone refer to the "pubic library" or "apologize for the incontinence?" Or does it just make us feel bad for the way things are going? Well, at least we can choose to laugh in the face of ignorance and facepalm moments. We see spelling failures all over the place in our own lives. Some of us are simply not word people. And man is it weird realizing a 40-year-old coworker thinks it's pronounced "it's a doggy dog world."
