English is complicated, with its rather random spelling rules and seemingly-arbitrary pronunciation of some words. So if one wants to avoid eternal shame online for misspelling something, it’s important to always double check before posting.

So in case you sometimes feel bad for using spellcheck, we’ve gathered some of the most atrocious spelling mistakes from across the internet for your viewing enjoyment. Get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own examples in the comments below (after running them through some proofreading.)

    Reminds me of an Estonian joke. About Estonians. An Estonian man goes to the receptionist of their hotel and says: "To ti to te ti to!" The receptionist is left in confused silence... The Estonian yells "To ti to te ti to!!" quite upset already. The receptionist is about to call the police on the lunatic, but then their more experienced colleague walks in and says: "No worries, I know what he wants!" and to the Estonian: "Ok, two teas to twenty-two, right away sir."
