Heh.  I work with a 60-some-year-old registered nurse who can't spell the word hepatitis.  Or tetanus.  Or menstruation.  It's not just these days, unfortunately.

Spelling is overated.

Sure but she's getting a phone call from someonewho wants to advertise puppies for sale. They say "——— puppies" and she writes down whatever, then goes to the internet to figure out what they said. This cannot work if you only type in the wrong spelling. You'll get nothing but hits that include that wrong spelling! Duh! Yeah she just needs to know a few more words.
 
Okay so I'm not giving her a pass on the internet any more!
 
It's hard, because she's nice and her personal story is as tragic and in the end as treacly-happy as anything Hollywood can churn out. But damn sometimes I am speechless at what she comes up with

A Dotson is a car.  A Dacksund is a dog.  Not only can't she spell, she can't speak the language.
Forgie my phonetic spellings, as they suck.

The kicker was that by Googling —and finding— photos of Dotson puppies, she took that as proof. Mind you she never actually clicked on any of the hits to find where people said "dotson puppy" and someone else said "you f*ucking moron."
 
This woman's a grandmother, though, so I kind of have to give her a pass on the "everything on the internet is true" thing, but Jesus Christ it isn't like dachshund is an obscure word. How the hell do you live 60 years on this planet without seeing the word at least once and thinking "that's a funny word. wonder what it means?" She kept trying to tell me that word was "dash-hound" and the woman was selling dotsons (you know-it-all asshole *implied*).

Ooh! But then again this is the same woman (in charge of classified ads) who listed a "cheverlay." She told the guy she'd put it under "livestock" because she thought he was trying to sell a charolais cow. Chev-Ro-fucking-Lay. I know you've heard of it. Largest-selling automobile in the history of planet earth? Okay but the cheese tastes like Pennzoil.
 
well that was a fun little rant!
 
It was fun. 
And being a grandmother doesn't allow you to be stupid about the internet.  I give my mother hell about it regularly.

Definately.  I'm perfectly happy being a moran.
Edit:  This reminds me - I went on a rant a while back about an idiot radio personality I had the misfortune of listening to years ago - I once heard him read a story wherein he referred to Mt. Moron.  This would've been in the early eighties, so before the infamous photo. 

 
Also, there was an online classified for "one fourth horse".  Yeesh.

Don't get me started.  About 95% of the notes I see on the cases that I work are ridiculous.  Even my boss can't spell.  How the hell are people graduating high school these days?  I honestly do not get it.  I want to work with intelligent people.
