Facebook & Spelling: A Match Made In Hell

This section calls out people who upload shocking status updates that make you stop and re-read several times. Not only is the update itself something of low importance and completely insignificant, it is so poorly spelt with 99% of the words containing a maximum of two syllables. 

If you see these updates, call Crime Stoppers and then take a screen shot and email it to letsfckbook@hotmail.com. All images will be edited to not include names as we are not here to purposely embarrass people, but to educate our community to improve their vocabulary and grammar. Im not perfect and I make spelling mistakes, however I understand how to spell check or google words I am unsure of. Also Microsoft Word makes it very easy for us by underlining words incorrectly spelt with a red squiggle. QUIT IGNORING IT!

Today's specimen outlines the way people talk when they want to come across as rough, otherwise known as a "Gangster". The saying itself is not what bothers me, it's the way it has been spelt. It would have been ten times easier to spell it correctly and would have prevented our readers suffering from a migraine.

  1. You aren't "gangsta"!!! When I read this I assume you have a learning disability that meant you never went higher than grade 5! Get a dictionary!

    Perhaps Facebook can implement a Standardised English Exam that people have to pass before they can create a facebook account. Might weed out some of the dumbasses.
