Not everyone is going to bring home first prize in a spelling bee. Some folks are just awful at spelling. At least on our phones and computers, we have spellcheck to give us a notification that we're spelling words wrong. But in real life, you sometimes just have to wing it.
These people spelled things by sounding them out, with some very funny results! I imagine a lot of the people who wrote these signs aren't English speakers. Instead, they're sounding out the words phonetically to try and get their point across. We're not dunking on people who are trying to learn another language---it's really hard, and props to them for trying their best! They've just made some excellent and very unintentionally funny signs. Correct spelling? Nah, hit 'em with a remix! As an editor, it's my job to make sure things are spelled correctly while I'm on the clock. But in my free time (like while I'm texting my friends) I think it's pretty fun to mix it up and spell things in the way you think they should be spelled. I mean, why not?
Check out all of these funny language mix-ups below. Then, read about these people's worst interviews ever, like one candidate who shared, "The recruiter started to fold my CV into a paper plane."
