Spelling Failures That Shouldn't Even Have Been Written Down

Spelling is hard, and it takes years to learn how to do. When you consider the phrase "spelling at a 5th grade level" you're still talking about a level of skill that requires literal years of experience reading and writing. Keep in mind, it's still not good to be an adult who reads at a 5th grade level, but it's just something to think about. Maybe at like a 10th grade level.

The other issue we run into is that most of our correspondences in life are spoken, not written. So we find ourselves captured by these strange pitfalls of what certain words and phrases "sound like" rather than what they are. And that's how you find yourself reading a sign that says "sorry for the incontinence." It's unlikely that the elevator isn't working because someone can't stop pooping, but we don't exactly want to risk it by checking.

Here are some spelling fails that beat the meaning out of words.
