Thanks, spellcheck

Today, I realized the senior thesis I turned in last week uses the word "asses" instead of "assess" 17 times. FML

I take it your thesis was not on donkeys?

To get back at my ex for cheating on me, I changed her auto-correct to change the word "an" to "buttsex" and the word "of" to "*****". She didn't notice til after she got her first paper back

I don't think that anyone would actually submit a senior thesis without proofreading multiple times, and probably having someone else proofread as well. You lose, sir.

You just made me realize that I legitimately used "asses" in my thesis. It's the plural of as, the smallest unit of Roman currency.

That's your own damn fault. Spell check is there for a reason.

YDI, for using the word assess 17 times in a paper.

did you happen to proof read your work? There is no way in hell you could have confused asses with assess... Although there is only one less 's' that is a mistake that should only be made by people who are below grade 5.

Thanks to the magical FML gnomes that put my moderated-for-no-reason donkey comment back up!

Hopefully, Sir-Mix-a-Lot will be subbing that day and grading the papers?

It's called proof-reading, and having someone else read over it too. Try it some time.
