Today, I corrected someone who spelled "learned" as "learnt" on my favorite forum. Nothing could've prepared me for the torrent of abuse that followed from the non-American members. Now I'm banned for "trolling," and all my 7,000+ posts since 2006 are gone forever. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on my favourite forum when I saw a guy ranting at some pro-lifer fanatic. For fun, I replied "umad bro?" apparently moments after the forum founder also left an angry reply. I'm now banned for a month for "trolling the founder" and all my posts have vanished without a trace. FML
Today, I posted on a forum asking if I could be a moderator. Instead, I got banned. FML
Today, I confessed my love for the girl I like, on the forum she moderates. She responded by banning me. FML
Today, I signed up to a Christian website in order to try and 'find God again'. I got banned. FML
Today, while drunk, my brother got on my computer onto my already logged in Wikipedia account and made a few bad edits. He got me reported for vandalism, sending abusive messages to other editors, and banned from editing, pending appeal. FML
Today, I learned that I may have caused a public speaker and author to be fired, because my response to his "open chat" question flustered him, causing him to lose his cool and snap at me. FML
Today, two American guys attacked me for not speaking their language. I'm from England, and they said I'm speaking my own language wrong. FML
Today, I made a Discord account for the first time and got banned, even though I hadn't even logged in. Like, how is that possible? FML
Today, I confidently corrected someone in a group conversation. I was wrong. Very wrong. Everyone stared while Google proved me incorrect in seconds. I nodded and pretended I meant something else. FML
Today, after nearly 19 years, my Facebook account was permanently disabled because I'd banned too many scammers. I admin 58 groups, for over 2 million members, and have banned 50k+ fake accounts. One of them apparently reported me, and since Facebook runs some fake accounts, it was easier to ban me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sorry, but you deserved it.

I commented to a few people one here about that (spelt is a grain, not the past tense of spelled) and a moderator deleted them, saying that I was attacking people. The laws of grammar have apparently gone out the window and woe anyone who mentions it.

Happens to me too, all the time.

It's funny because you're "propergrammar".

Honestly, YDI. Google it before you correct it! Better safe than sorry, because the Internet NEVER forgets!

The two are interchangeable. What exactly were you correcting? Not liking one spelling doesn't give you the right to tell other people they're wrong.

"'Trolling'," Not "'trolling,'" Oops sorry for trolling.

Either spelling is correct, the use of one over the other depends on location. You deserved to be banned.
