We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

Link Roundup

Here are some fun grammar and spelling shenanigans from around the internet, for your time-passing pleasure.

You can almost hear the annoyance in the woman's voice when she confirms this typo. I don't blame her. I'd be livid myself.

I'm a casual sports fan at best, and even I know hockey only has 3 periods.

A little late, but check out these TJ's stickers with the awesome typo, and then HuffPo has a little confession to make as well.

It's bad enough to have to get a stupid tattoo when you lose a bet, but to have that tattoo have an apostrophail in it? Epic tragedy.

And in other sports fan news, a young woman who may have attended my own alma mater has a little problem dealing with the (wo)man in the mirror.

And finally, this is why you DO NOT create jokey graphics while you're sitting around in an edit bay. Because mistakes happen, and all of a sudden they end up on TV.
