Today, severely tired and pulling an all-nighter, I was editing documents at work. Eventually the words blurred together and "which" began to look funny, so I corrected them. I realized too late that I'd turned in the company's brochure with every "which" spelt as "witch". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was so tired at work that I typed out "wherehouse" instead of "warehouse" in a document shared with my co-workers. It took me several seconds to realize why the heck the spell checker had underlined "wherehouse" in red. FML
Today, after pulling an all-nighter on an essay, I submitted it one minute before the deadline and felt like a genius. Later, I reopened the file and discovered I'd uploaded the rough draft instead of the final version. The last line ended with “fix this later,” which was not my finest academic work. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, I spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML
Today, while not feeling well at work, I had to finish up some papers. I was so out of it, I couldn't remember how to spell my name. I had to improvise by pronouncing each syllable of my name out loud. My boss now thinks I'm a dumbass. FML
Today, I got pulled off a hugely important project, all because I accidentally spelled "country" as "cuntry" in an email to our client. FML
Today, I was writing my rough draft of an essay, and I forgot how to spell a word. I waited for auto correct to help. I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, I was writing out palm cards and didn't know if I'd spelled a word correctly, so I stared at it for about 10 seconds waiting for spell check to tell me if it was right or not before I realised I was writing on paper. FML
Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Eye hate win people get words mixed up with other words that sound alike. That's why eye make shirt that eye use the write words. Eye like talking better then typing because you can here what they say without having second guesses. Eye really think it is stupid win people can make a simple sentence, not make munch cents at all. Eye hope win eye ham hold enough two have a sun, his generation would no the difference of words that sound alike.

That's actually good advice. Don't own up to the mistake, Rock It instead! (Say something like I was just really prepared and picked the wrong file...)

This is why all-nighters are not for the weak. Time for you to get a curfew.

Sorry I go swimming at my house and it's the summer time. I'll ******* change my life to make you happier okay? Suck a chode.
We_Li_Ve_Fr_Ee 0
I'm with 93 on this one; it's summer time and shirts are overrated; maybe you should lighten up, get laid, and lose your shirt too.
scrapmetal58 9
83 - you're a few weeks late. I pointed out that his shirt fell off way back. Plus it's summer. My shirt is off right now. ... Well as are my pants and socks. :) Also, 76 you are awesome.
MrSassypants 34
101 No I am MrSassypants. Awesome is someone else.

ctrl+F, replace all 'witch' with 'which'. Should be an easy solution, unless you talk about witches in your brochure. I'm surprised they had you editing, if you didn't know how to do that.

Spell check wouldn't catch that mistake. Witch is a real word, so a computer program won't recognize it as a mistake. I love spell check as much as the next person, but people rely on it WAY too much. Totally just noticed you typed sandWITCH. Love it! :)

I have been creepy, per usual. What about you?
Screwie 25
And at witch point did you notice this, OP?

That's where auto correct comes in handy. Other than that, screw auto correct!

108- No it's not

It is on Fml.
kwchambers92 10
I think 5s comment speaks for itself, not all the "which witch" shenanigans, and it's definitely sandwich unless you're illiterate of some sort

Thank you 121
itsalanis 25
just explain what happened. im sure they'll somewhat understand...

"In which case, we will need more profit this quarter." No no no. Doesn't sound right. "In witch case, we will need more profit this quarter." yeah there we go.

nice
kimbylu_fml 2
you mean spelled not spelt
HannahForbesxo 13
Nope, I believe spelt is correct as well. They are both interchangeable, according to the Oxford dictionary.
redbluegreen 41
Spelt is correct.
kimbylu_fml 2
Spelt must be a UK word, not used in US.
