Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

Lol that's honestly not that bad I could see that happening considering how much we use technology.

That's what you call a dictionary.. I think people forgot what that is..

A dictionary defines a word, and you can't find a word in there unless you know how it's spelt, I'm not saying its impossible, but that's generally how its done.

My teachers always told me that shit, to look a word up in the dictionary if I didn't know how it was spelt. Public education, folks.

My parents always told me that. A long as you have the first few letters you can find it - and if that was what I didn't know they would give me that much...
