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.

Hopefully it's saved somewhere and somebody catches it before they send it off to press... Otherwise you might not be proofreading things much longer.

Well, your situation doesn't seem that out of the question considering you don't know how to spell spelled.

Both are perfectly correct spellings. "Spelt" is just rarer than "spelled".

Sweet Christ ... I can understand misinterpreting when to use the proper spelling with "your"/"you're" ... maybe even "to"/"too" ... But you gotta be a special kind of stupid to confuse & incorrectly spell "which" as "witch" (especially since outside of Halloween, Salem & the occasional in-law; "witch" rarely comes into play.)

Have you ever pulled an all-nighter NotSoSmooth ? You focus on your work so much in order to stay awake that the details can often take a hike. Witch for which is pretty severe, but going round the clock at work is too, especially without coffee, especially with your boss breathing down your neck. Figuratively of course for that last one.
