50 Times People Struggled With Words So Hard, They Cracked Others Up
Interview With Expert
How much easier would life be if English spelled words like they sound? We wouldn’t need a minute to think about expressions like necessary, entrepreneur, and Wednesday, sound them out loud or rewrite them too many times just to give up and Google it or turn on the spellcheck.
Unfortunately, in reality, the English language is a mix of spellings and pronunciations from all over the world that also depend on which country you’re in (how fun!). So it’s no surprise that many people seem to struggle with it, even if they’re English native speakers.
Below, the Bored Panda team has gathered some of the most hilarious instances where people couldn’t spell out words correctly to save their lives. Scroll down to find them, and make sure to leave a comment telling us what words you also struggle with that are way too complicated for no reason.
While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with Lindsay Dow, language consultant at Lindsay Does Languages, who kindly agreed to chat with us more about spelling in the digital world.

Somehow the abstract sounded close enough that I didn't even register it wasn't the right word
Even though we write less and less by hand and use autocorrect and grammar software daily, the importance of spelling correctly still remains, says Lindsay Dow, language consultant at Lindsay Does Languages.
"It does but it’s something that perhaps doesn’t matter as much as in the past because we can rely on tools like spellcheckers and Grammarly to ensure we’ve got things right. And then if you do make a mistake, you have the excuse of calling it a typo! However, it does, of course, still help to speed up writing and editing for yourself," she says.

The words she personally struggles to spell are resource and language. "Two words I write a lot in my line of work—and they often end up as resoruce and langauge if no auto-spellchecker is on."
As for others, she noticed that some modern abbreviations in spoken language don’t always get a set written form for a while. "For example, we might shorten the phrase “as per usual” to something like (and I hope you can understand my spelling attempt!) “as per ughe”!"

Some typos could be harmless and even funny (like these on the list), but a slip of a finger also has the potential to make us look less intelligent to others than we are. In fact, it was proven that a lack of proficiency in writing could be a barrier to people getting a job or even a date. It creates confusion as well, hindering our basic ability to communicate.

It's hard to say if our ability to spell is getting worse because we rely on auto-correct and spellcheck. We are writing more and faster and more efficiently than ever and that might be the reason the number of typos is increasing, says Lindsay.
"One interesting point made in this article is that we type more (and quicker) than we write "manually," and more people are typing nowadays, all factors that increase the number of spelling errors. So it may not be as simple as spellcheck making spelling worse. There are a few other factors at play."

While there's no concrete research proving that our spelling is getting worse, it doesn't hurt to try and keep it up or improve it—to make our communication clearer, appear more intelligent, and avoid losing job or dating opportunities.
For this, Lindsay recommends practice. "Much like anything, the boring answer is practice! However, as I say to my clients when they’re learning foreign languages, ensure that you’re making the process fun, flexible, and functional. There are endless ways to improve spelling, but if it’s boring rote exercises and you find them tedious, then you’ll learn nothing!"

A method that research has found to be effective for improving spelling is Cover-Copy-Compare (CCC). It involves looking at a word, copying it, and then covering it and trying to write it from memory. It can enhance spelling accuracy, especially when combined with sounding out words by slowly and carefully pronouncing each letter to figure out a word's spelling.

Honestly, I've used to make similar mistakes as a child in my native language. Later, I started reading. When someone goes after their ear, this kind of error comes with the territory. On the other hand, how did the language (any language) develop while literacy was uncommon (most of the human history), if copying the spoken words is unreliable?
Michael Largey 9 months ago
Despite the title, the errors here are all, or almost all, ones of spelling - not grammar. Grammar is about how you assemble sentences, not how you spell the words in them. A sentence with every word misspelled could still be perfectly grammatical. In fact, may are not even errors in spelling, but errors in diction (using the right word for your intended meaning).

While I know I should be making some kind of comment about the sad state of human intelligence... I'm not going to... because that s**t was too f*****g funny! By the time I got to "Giggle Bites," I was laughing so hard that there were literally tears. TEARS! I use the f*****g emoji all the time, but I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. If society's stupidity is the price to pay, so be it!!!

Honestly, I've used to make similar mistakes as a child in my native language. Later, I started reading. When someone goes after their ear, this kind of error comes with the territory. On the other hand, how did the language (any language) develop while literacy was uncommon (most of the human history), if copying the spoken words is unreliable?

Despite the title, the errors here are all, or almost all, ones of spelling - not grammar. Grammar is about how you assemble sentences, not how you spell the words in them. A sentence with every word misspelled could still be perfectly grammatical. In fact, may are not even errors in spelling, but errors in diction (using the right word for your intended meaning).

How do these people function in life? Language is too beautiful to mangle so badly.

I made a comment on this post that received at least 10 upvotes, but I can't view it now because I haven't paid for premium. Bored Panda, you've ruined what used to be a great website.

Many of these seemed totally made up on purpose for a laugh! But the comments made it worth the read!

Red state educations. Pick up a book, a magazine, a newspaper. Learn something.
