Today, my boss replied-to-all to a memo I sent, wherein he states that "Filipino" should be spelled with a double P. He spells his nationality with a double R. He's from Morocco. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss asked me to send an email on his behalf with an important report attached. I've already received 3 responses from directors commenting on poor spelling and factual errors. I get paid 1/4 the salary of my boss and he can't even write properly. FML
Today, I was unable to communicate with a customer who only spoke French. As a result, my boss called me a "monolingual idiot." I speak Spanish, German, and Japanese. FML
Today, I made it onto my boss's shit-list, after pointing out that he'd misspelled "customer" as "costumer" 6 times in his report, and "college education" as "collage education" twice. It'd be a dick move on his part even if making corrections like this weren't part of my damn job. FML
Today, my boss signed and sent me back my timesheet. He named the PDF file "Timeshit". Now I don't know whether he's terrible at spelling, or just expressed his view of my job. FML
Today, my boss chewed me out for correcting several spelling and grammar mistakes in one of his reports. The words "Think you're so damn smart, don't ya?" were uttered. I'm his secretary, and proofreading his shit is part of my job. FML
Today, I texted my boss, "I'm looking forward to doing you" instead of, "I'm looking forward to seeing you" thanks to a very unfortunate combination of my atrocious typing skills on a smartphone and an overzealous autocorrect function. FML
Today, I sent a polite yet strongly-worded email to one of my corporate clients in which I expressed my irritation at being asked the same question by the same team for the 4th day in a row. I ended it with "Regards!" but accidentally swapped the 'g' with a 't'. FML
Today, my boss and I were preparing a lunch order for a nearby real-estate agency. I noticed that the order was riddled with spelling mistakes, so I laughed and mocked the realtors, calling them stupid and incompetent. My boss then pointed out that the order was written in his handwriting. FML
Today, I sent a reply-all email to my entire company that said "Go tit" instead of "Got it". FML
Today, I had to proofread a document my boss had written. When I pointed out that he spelled "college" as "collage" multiple times, he angrily accused me of trying to make him look stupid. This is the guy who constantly boasts about his "genius" IQ level to the whole office. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Their boss things Morocco is spelled Morroco, and is correcting the FMLer on spelling 'Filipino' as 'Filippino'. It's a wonder the kind of people who get promotions.

Yeah, I have to agree with #6. Knowing your boss is a total retard - but still your boss - makes life suck hard.

Perhaps your FML should be that you wrote that entire FML and failed to realize that it IS spelled with two P's...... Phillipino.... You know.... Like the country.... Phillipines. Duh.

Um, no. Filipino does NOT equal to "Philipino", wtf is that?! It's "Filipino". Before you insult someone, make sure you're intellectually correct.

my god your an idiot. phillipino? that's one of the most ****** up ways of spelling it that I've seen in a long time. maybe look in a dictionary dumb shit. I still can't believe that you did that and tried to insult someone at the same time.

"Intellectually correct." Heh. Oh, and before you try to insult someone yourself, maybe you should learn how to place full stops and commas correctly.

as someone who is pinay there is actually a huge difference. Filipino is the correct way to spell it when speaking of people. Philipino is the correct way when speaking of the place. noone is right or wrong.

#12, you're actually wrong . I'm Filipino myself, and it IS spelled with an F not double Ps . if this person spelled it "Phillipino", it wouldn't really be on FML .
