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!

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.

I love mistakes like these because the people who made them are just so confident. It makes it that much better.
