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.

I love a deal!

It's hard to classify this entry as just a spelling error. Because of the spelling error, this, like the last entry, is now the wrong word. (See what I did there? I love a theme!) This one doesn't take a lot of set up. Except, if you're looking for a good submission to send me (and I know you are!), you should look no further than your local Val-Pak.

I have never considered insuring my frames. 
It's ENSURE. With an E. Unless they are also insuring their frames, which I guess is possible. But here, that's just not what we're on about.

Sometimes I weep a little bit for the future, y'all. But then I have a sandwich, and I'm ok.

    Well, actually, that one goes both ways:

      You know, when I looked it up, I felt like it wouldn't work as well as ensure, but the definition I found wasn't as expansive as this one. I need to use better resources!

    I just can't get past that "Actually" in the second line. That just ain't right.

      Yeah, that tripped me up, too. It's Klunky with a capital K.

    I can't deal with the fact that every. single. word. is capitalized.
