People Who Can't Spell...

I have a special place in my heart for people that can't spell... I don't mean typos (we all make those from time to time) or people with bad grammar... like people who put "don't go their" instead of "don't go there" or "your right" instead of "you're right" That I just find annoying or funny depending on the situation... well today, I went to Sbarro's for lunch... I usually cop the baked ziti with some chicken (I swear I've gotten this shit like 6 days straight... it's THAT good...) but today, I was running a little late so I settled on some pizza... so I ask the homie behind the counter for two slices of supreme... so he hands me the two cartons and this is what he wrote...


And at first, I thought my dude just had a brain fart and fucked up without realizing... but then he did it on the second one too...


And that's when it hit me that my dude just really can't spell... and I know usually I talk shit about people for a laugh but stuff like this is not something I joke about... my dude is a grown-ass man and he really can't spell... that breaks my heart, B... I mean, I know most people don't have a penchant for grammar or spelling like I do (it's the English major in me, I guess...) but the fact that this dude gets a million orders a day for slices of supreme pizza and thinks that this is how you spell it just makes me feel bad for him... but I mean what can you really say to that? "Yo son, you spelled it wrong"? He's gonna feel like shit... and I know some asshole probably sat down to lunch with all his friends and talked dumb ignorant about him and that just makes me madder about the whole situation... and everytime I go back to this Sbarro's I'ma see him and ask for supreme pizza and he's gonna spell it the wrong way again... and I'ma feel like shit yet again... this could've all been easily avoided if I had just left on time and got the fucking ziti...

I'm not tryna joke on anybody when I say this but I really want people to read and write more... get your grammar skills up... it can't do anything but help... that's non-fiction from your boy HW...







In other junk food news...
I think I may have a problem with Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Macadamia... (this is from the week BTW, not today... so shut the fuck up... LOL...) this ice cream has single-handedly allowed me to gain a good ten pounds back on the 30 I've lost over the summer...

  1. I wanted some ice cream before I read this...now I really want it and I'm headed to Cold Stone Creamery.

    As for the spelling/grammar thing, yes, I too just want grown folk to care. It's almost like they sincerely don't give a rats ass about being able to spell or write a sentence correctly....just sad as hell.
