Today, my 10-year-old niece asked me how to spell "embarrassing." I confidently spelled it out. She giggled and said, "No, that's wrong." She was right, and to make matters a tad ironic, I'd just finished bragging about winning a spelling bee back in middle school. FML

Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML

Today, my seven-year-old niece gave me a birthday card. Only she'd spelled my name as ‘Jenny.’ When I told her it was spelled with an i instead of a y, she cried. FML

Today, while home from college for the weekend, my sister started whining about how I keep using "big fancy college words" and making her feel bad. My sister is 27 and teaches elementary school. The word I used was "ludicrous." FML

Knowing (or not knowing) how many letters are in your alphabet doesn't affect anything at all. It doesn't reflect intelligence, and you can certainly read, write, and do anything else without knowing that the standard American English alphabet has 26 letters. For example, a master chef could know how to make the most delicious seafood dish you've ever tasted, with a multitude of spices, a variety of sea creatures, etc. And he could have the whole recipe memorized and could make it perfectly any time, anywhere. But he may not know off the top of his head that his recipe happens to utilize, say, 38 individual ingredients. It really doesn't matter. Sure, most people do remember how many letters there are, but the only place that knowledge is ever used is in one situation - talking about how many letters a language has. The knowledge has no other applications.

Today, after two months of being broken up, and my ex still insisting she hadn't been cheating on me, I declared via text my intention to burn the rest of her stuff in the yard. This resulted in the guy she "hadn't been cheating on me with" kicking in my door. FML
