I Put a Misspell on You

The website Stuff White People Like once included misspellings, which annoyed me because I don’t like race-based generalizations and the whole thing kind of sucked the fun out of it for me. Because I’m a white person who does like misspellings! And word-related errors in general! Not all are amusing, of course. As I collected these over the past couple of months, I realized certain errors are more noteworthy than others—when a new, funny-sounding word is created; when the wrong word is used; when a business misspells its own name. Obviously, not everyone has been fortunate to have much of an education, and heaven knows I’m not adept in any language but English. So I offer this not in a spirit of meanness—after all, it’s not as if I haven’t made a boolper or two over the years—but in  a spirit of let’s all just laugh as much as we can as we muddle through this thing called life.
