Writing for our website over the last few weeks meant logging quite a bit of time with dictionary.com. Coming from the world of print, spelling errors can be quite costly. A good few rounds of spell check can make a big difference. This article from The Huffington Post made me chuckle. One might suggest before committing to something as painful permanent as a tattoo, check your dictionary.
Innocence can contribute, too. My first newspaper job I wrote a story about an English lady who told me something about her refrigerator. I quoted her, using her reference, as “frig” which was a not-nice word in 1957, so not-nice I had never heard it. Well, when the first edition came out, my editor (a prim lady) almost had a stroke, and I had to rush up to the composing room and get the laughing typesetters to change it to the acceptable “fridge.” Times change. And so do we.
Ok, ML now you have to let us know what “frig” meant
Is this for reel? Their is nothing funnier than this pic. Bear in mind, weather you have a pear of brains or just won, spell check can’t correct the misuse of homophone .. no won can bale this guy out… I can sea it’s spelled wrong. He is tuff, many mussels, he should chute the guy. Unless he has the patients of a saint. Butt his friends must tees him… it’s a reel cymbal of fowl play.
