Jugement Day

Maybe you are like some of us and used to be a champion speller all through elementary school and well into high school, until MS Word came along and you started using their spell checker. Then your brain gradually atrophied until you went from only using it for difficult words like ‘cemetery’ to simply mashing your fingers on the keys for every word over five letters long and hoping that the correct spelling eventually came up in the suggested words list. Much like the way your calculator dependence has meant that you have to whip out the calculator on your cell phone to figure out how many tires you’ve got left after one has blown.

There are the younger folk who have been presumably using spellcheckers since birth, and never got the solid foundation before the era of word processors. This leads them to doing stuff like this:

There are many other similarly tragic examples to be found all over the internet.

Or maybe you are one of those people who was just never really good at spelling, whether you had access to a spellcheck or not. You have to deal every day with those pedantic types who go into a rage whenever someone spells ‘definitely’ with an ‘a’ Then you want to tell them that the English spelling system is pretty arbitrary and that you are just rebelling against the arbitrary authority of the dictionaries and contributing to the evolution of the language.

Anyway, no matter which one you are, you now have a t-shirt to express yourself with:

Wear this shirt and be proud of all of your tattoos. Don’t let them juge you.
