BenJen's Blog

Welcome to my blog. A place where you may not find consistency, but where you will find various rants and irrelevant anecdotes, and 'witty' text on the subject of whatever crops up into a poor student's mind.
Please, do try to enjoy it... Constructive criticism is more than welcomed.

Have a nice day now, chaps and chappettes.

Warning: May contain traces of football, video games, and musical ramblings... It's mostly the latter, in truth.

A Strong Contender For The Worst Spelling Of All Time

'Parents'. Not a hard word to spell, to be honest. I've probably known how to spell it since...hmmm, I don't know. A long time, let's put it that way. Now, if you're dyslexic, then you've got a perfect reason to not be able to spell well, so don't fret if you can't spell 'parents'. But anyway, it's a damn simple word. So imagine my horror when I find a status update from a 16 going on 17 year old, who spells the word 'parents' as...wait for it...'peronts'. Uh huh. It's not really even spelt phonetically, so I don't know what the poor guy was thinking. I'm going to try extra hard not to be a dick about this though, because I need to be changing my ways. I can be a Grammar Nazi, as long as I don't act on it all the time in the most prickish of ways. *holds in the unbearable urge to rip the piss out of a retarded, druggie of a teenager with an awful attitude to life*
