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

Spell check wouldn't have picked that up; asses is still a word. YDI for not knowing how to spell 'assess'. And HA #20.

Pretty sure he knows how to spell, probably just forgot the second 's'. Still, YDI for reading through it after typing it up.

why are people saying its ok because the OP is in high school? where in the world does it say he/she's in high school? last time i checked, a senior thesis is for college

that is your fault. you either set your spell check to set "assess" to "asses" or your sorry ass can't spell.

Yes, spell check would not have caught it. However, most of the newer programs have something called "spelling AND grammar" check that would have caught it right away.

I can understand doing that a couple of times, but how in hell did you spell it wrong 17 times?

you really shouldnt use a word of that caliber 17 times in a paper anyway.

I would give you an F just for using the word "assess" 17 times.
