Poor spelling (and grammar for that matter) drives me crazy. I blame the watering-down of formal English teaching in schools, the need for mobile phone users to compress words in SMS messaging, and the Media for mangling language for marketing reasons.
Here are some that really light my wick:
“Fish ‘n Chips” – hell, “and” is such a complicated fvcking word.
“Let us do it right for you” – look creep, I know you’ll fvck it up big time.
“4NIC8R” – on license plates…I’ll bet you have a small dick.
It’s an erosion of standards…and I dread to think of the communications (verbal and written) that are going to flow from CEOs born in the Generation X ‘n [sic] Y errors [sic].
Example: “Youz have gota lift ur game if we r gonna xlr8 our market cher”.
Stoat shudders.
