Make Sure You Spell Your Disses Correctly
Mar 16th, 2008 by Simon
I’ve always been a bit of a stickler for spelling. I’m the kind of guy that was turned off by girls I was dating when I realized they couldn’t spell (so I married an English Lit major). When choosing a partner, fine - we all have our peculiar tastes. But in the real world, I know to just cringe on the inside and bear it politely. Every now and then, though, I come across gems that either flaunt themselves or insult others while misspelling. In those cases, I feel I have the right to point it out.
Behold, Yahoo’s 60 Minutes ad for a special on “moron CEO’s”:
The ad appeared here, and more information about the grammar rules in cases like this can be found here (correct answer: CEOs). Ok, so it’s not an easy one, but I don’t care. Don’t call people morons unless you can spell your calling them morons correctly.
