As a kid, one of the toughest things about being a big nerdy reader was that even though I knew the definition and spelling of just about every word I’d come across, I sometimes didn’t know how to say them out loud. This led to some serious embarrassment on a few occasions, one of which possibly scarred me for life.
These 16 people have the opposite problem, though – they’ve heard a word plenty of times and sure, they’re even using it right in a sentence, but it’s not spelled correctly. At all.
In fact, it’s a totally different word, and the results can be pretty amusing – just see for yourself!
16. I mean spelling is hard.
Maybe they don’t know there are two different ones.
15. OK but this is an easy mistake.
Not everyone reads Shakespeare, people!
14. I don’t think I’m going to eat that.
Leave that beef to his privacy!
13. She was just going by the sound.
It doesn’t have to make sense, apparently.
12. Ohhh noooo this is a terrible error.
In a business message no less.
11. A blessing in the skies.
I kind of love it, not gonna lie.
10. You can’t print that word in the paper!
Come on now, use your head.
9. I’d say keep reading.
It might take a few turns for it to all sink in.
You should always read the turns of service

8. He’s spelling it out.
But…that’s two words and not one. Ha!
7. Why does this feel extremely appropriate?
Like, I’m lamenting even asking if I’m being honest.
6. Otherwise it would just apply to women.
Right?
5. No, you definitely shouldn’t.
That would be pretty creepy and weird if you did.
4. That’s quite the confession for social media.
I mean. I guess you do you as long as everyone consents.

3. If so, I think it could chop some lactose.
I’m just saying.
2. This perfectly describes mine.
I mean, I’m just saying.
I think I’m having an extra central crisis

1. Have WHAT right away?
Don’t go leaving us hanging!
I love mistakes like these because the people who made them are just so confident. It makes it that much better.
