Remember the 5th grade spelling bee? I do. I was up to bat, and the pressure was on. The stage lights were beating on me, and sweat began to form on my brow. I looked out to the judge’s table to see Mrs. Appleby, my vicious language arts teacher, already scowling. She had it out for me. «Can I get a language of origin?» I remember myself saying, voice breaking from nerves. «Latin.» That didn’t help. I sputtered out a guess, defeated. And as I slowly made my loser’s journey back to my seat, I swore I’d never ever forget how to spell sergeant. 

Now, my phone spells for me. Heck, it even predicts what it thinks I want to say. So much for that evening of agony. So, to honor the mistakes of my youth, I’ve rounded up a list of typos that we’re actually happy about, because boy are they absurd.
