2. A correctly spelled word that illiterate duh-weebs are unfamiliar with, and will mistake for misspellings of other words.

3. The reason why spell-checkers were invented.
1. "The correct spelling of yelow is yellow."

"Maybe that's why I spelled it that way the other 36 times I used that word."

2. "You left the P out of homepage."

"If I had wanted to call my homage a homepage, I would have."

3. "I spell everything correctly! I use a spell-checker!"

"Spell-checkers don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, and neither do you."
