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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

Actually both words are correct... Spelt and spelled is another example. Back when I studied languages. We were told english is one of the most difficult languages - even though we are so commonly used to it we still make mistakes and are confused on it's grammar usage only because... well... it is a confusing and difficult language :-)

Grammar nazi?

Since this was a legitimate mistake (and assuming your post 'correcting' the spelling was polite and non-aggressive), you *should* be able to write a politely-worded email (if necessary, from another account) to the forum mods clearly and carefully explaining that this was an innocent, well-intentioned mistake, and work towards resolution (being permitted to post this to original thread, etc)... If you were rude or derogatory in the orininal response, then there'd be little to be done...

I'm sorry. That really sucks. I hate it when stupid people think they have an opinion when it comes to grammar. Keep correcting my friend! Language is the only thing we have left!

The operative word here is "correcting". The assumption is that the person doing the correcting is, in fact, correct. In this case they were not.
