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.

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

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

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

% Daily recommended allowance

An experimental 1980 dietary guide based upon the Pritikin Diet fad diet published in 1979.
% Daily recommended allowance is even worse than the Food Guide Pyramid because it promotes eating 5 out 7 servings of food in the form of carbohydrates without even suggesting that the carbohydrates should come from more than one source.
