Thanks, spellcheck

By fuckspellcheck - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I realized the senior thesis I turned in last week uses the word "asses" instead of "assess" 17 times. FML

I take it your thesis was not on donkeys?

To get back at my ex for cheating on me, I changed her auto-correct to change the word "an" to "buttsex" and the word "of" to "*****". She didn't notice til after she got her first paper back

asses is a word, spell check wouldn't recognize it as a mistake, idiot

shows that someone needs to stay in school a little bit longer... and #1 - i think asses would be in spell check as the plural of ass, i could be wrong though.

stay in school? for missing one letter? in that case you do too cause you didn't capitalize the first letter in your post

haha way to go kid. YDI If you are doing your senior thesis you should have proofread it a bit better, and we learned this in elementary school, check your spell check for words that slip by (asses/assess there/their bye/by/buy/ which/witch etc

Yah. This is why we can't completely rely on spellcheck. Hopefully the teacher has a good sense of humor.

#4 if I used this my professor would probably kick my ass

Not sure if that's meant to be a pun…

YDI for not knowing how to spell. Even if you do know how to properly spell "assess," you should never trust the automatic spell check: you should always have another person proofread your papers before you hand them in.

YDI. Its a big enough paper, you should have checked for shit like that before handing it in

#1: even if OP used spell check, it wouldn't pick it up because it's spelled correctly. It's just the wrong word. OP: At least everyone who reads it will get a kick out of it!
