Thanks, spellcheck

By fuckspellcheck - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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

What, did you write it the night before or something? Hilarious nonetheless! :D

#17 I do that ALL the time! Only I read it as orgasms instead of organisms. Uugh god I don't know why. Anyway... OP: Like others have said, hopefully your teacher will have a sense of humor. Plus, there are worse swears out there. It's not like you said **** on it, right?

haha #20. Well, hopefully your reader is tolerant of that and will let you know what you wrote needs to be edited. YDI "Today, I was reading my students' senior papers. This paper determines whether or not they graduate high school. I thought I taught these 17 and 18 year old students well. Turns out, one smart aleck put "asses" on his paper. 17 times. I guess I was wrong. FML."

To the people saying that spell check wouldn't catch it - Mine doesn't have "asses" in it. Even if you do you have it in your spell checker, I'm not sure about you all but mine also uses grammar-checks to be differentiate between "their" and "there", etc. Point is this would have never slipped through my system, even if I didn't proof read it myself. Besides, what was the topic? If you use the same word 17 times, you may want to reconsider your structure unless it's a common word like "as" haha.

It's not even going to matter. A thesis isn't about spelling its about your ideas and how well you communicate them. Your prof is just going to laugh... a lot

Learn how to spell. #10-- you are amazing.
