funny facebook fails - Honers Stewdent

Not only is your “progect” totally unoriginal, I think you need to be able to spell to get into an Honors program.

    appreciate*

  2. jd says:

    Sadly, this is typical of people who can’t freakin’ spell. I don’t understand how my sister, only 5 years younger than me, can’t spell to save her life, while most of the people my age have no problem with it.

  3. Abby says:

    Common misspelled words in my mind.

  4. bfran says:

    No one can spell anymore. I don’t get it. How hard is it???

  5. Ben says:

    It’s spelt “Honours”…

    • Licsu says:

      In Bristish yes but not in American ;)

      • debjoy1 says:

        Well I’ve never heard of this Bristish language, is it only spoken by Brists? I do know that in British English it’s spelled “honours,” however.

      • Who'Zat says:

        The problem is you speak English, regardless of the dialect. Just because hundreds of years of stupidity has led people to accept wrong spelling doesn’t change the fact that it’s Honour. Try getting an education.

    • Jibble says:

      Why does that particular grain get honors? What about barley? I’m confused…

      • Old_Man_Dotes says:

        No, no, Spelt Honours are given to all kinds grain farmers. Just like Golden Globe awards are given to men and women of all races, whether they are tanned, or have boobs, or not.

    • blah says:

      Traditionally, that should be the case. Unfortunately, lazy American-English has made the lack of “u” acceptable in some spellings and/or situations. (In fact, Spell Check on Firefox even denies these spellings.)

      It’s the same with “colour/color” or “neighbour/neighbor,” for example.

      • harmony says:

        That’s actually nothing to do with laziness.

      • Lytrigian says:

        It’s not laziness. We simply acknowledge that we’re not French.

      • tor2ga says:

        Ah yes, the Arrogant, Repetitive Syndrome of Europe (also known as ARSE) rears its ugly head again.

        It’s called “language shift” and you should get a little more educated prior to generalizing/generalising a whole country. Or in my case, a whole continent!

          IT’S CALLED FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER!! STEWPID UHMORACAN!!! HURR DURR!! *EURO RAEG*

        • Alice says:

          I was taught in English Language lessons that American spellings came from an American gentleman who was trying to simplify the language. I can’t for the life of me remember his name…

          • Lytrigian says:

            Noah Webster.

            Not all his simplifications caught on. (Soop for soup, ake for ache, and many others.) But taking the “U” out of words like “color” wasn’t even his idea. It’s been an acceptable variant spelling almost as long as the words have been in the language.

      • fazoodle says:

        have you ever listened to British people try to talk. It’s like they struggle with ever word they say.

    • thatgirl says:

      I agree. It’s totally spelt “honours” and dropping the u is just wrong.

  6. chas says:

    it’s all i can do to not red pen all over my screen.

    /spelling/grammar nazi

  7. british says:

    *Honours

  8. that one guy says:

    I just want to say that people like this put out a bad rep for all young people everywhere. Some of us can type, spell, and use grammar like an adult.

  9. zulu90 says:

    sounds like she’s lifted her “idea” from the All-American Rejects’ music video for “Dirty Little Secret”. They should be honered.

  10. Jack sparrow says:

    Jewishgirl?

  11. Naytee says:

    Honours – England.
    Honors – America.

    Apparently. According to a quick Google search and a vast ignorance of honours / honors programmes / programs (delete as appropriate).

  12. Licsu says:

    Cute, I am French, and i don’t do those kind of mistakes… actually I never did…

  13. Teh n00b says:

    Huh. Why can’t I comment on anything?

  14. TL;DR says:

    This is way TL;DR for me.

  15. here's an idea says:

    So many fails… So… many…

    *passes out from fail overdose*

  16. Ryan says:

    a compleat secret? What is this, the college of Phyrexia?

  17. astgeek2010 says:

    …maybe you should consider the Boners College instead.

  18. Maltoy says:

    I think that what’s even more funny (or lame) is that she corrected “honor’s” but not all the other ‘embarrising’ mistakes. See private group here:

  19. Parkersmom says:

    Obviously this person is a product of a public school system, possibly in my city (which shall remain nameless to protect its privacy) I am appalled by the fact that teachers here do not insist that students use proper grammar, nor do they insist they spell correctly when writing papers. They just give them A’s for getting their point across, no matter how badly.

    • Tibbymstie says:

      ^ AGREED. My younger sister went to different schools than I did, and to this day I still wonder how she was able to graduate with her horrible spelling skills.. : s

    • Jeepers! says:

      I know what you mean.
      English teacher: “I don’t grade based on spelling or grammar. All that matters to me is the subject of your paper and how well you seem to understand it and make a point.”
      Me: “jgiroahgr;’av;a WHY THE HELL NOT?!”

  20. Clovina says:

    I was invited into the honor’s program at my college. I voluntarily left after one semester. Why? The students in there were so full of themselves and constantly on speed so they can keep up with their work. The special classes were not interesting to me. It was all history when I was a science major. One girl in my class attempted suicide by jumping off one of the campus garages because of the pressure caused by the program. Most not all of these people were not what you think of as honor’s students. A few students in my class would always wear long sleeves because they were cutters from all the stress. What does it get you? Cords and partial paid tuition…. and loss of hair, misery, and a good chance of drug use or obsessive compulsive disorder. Not worth it! One of my former coworkers (from our previous job) stayed in the program, we had the same major, and I turned out getting a better job than her. It may not be like this everywhere, but that was my experience with honor’s.

    • harmony says:

      Honor’s what?

    • gigi says:

      If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

    • Mushaboom says:

      Not all Honors programs are alike. The Honors program at my University is awesome–the professors basically choose what they want to teach most (within certain guidelines, of course) each semester and teach it knowing that the students can keep up. There are always new classes to choose from, and you can’t beat a class in which the professor is excited to teach the subject. Not stress-free by any means, but you’re stressed about doing projects that you actually want to do.

    • fazoodle says:

      It was a one story garage wasn’t it?

  21. didgeboy287 says:

    She misspelled “hooters” the same way twice. Seems to be a strange way to apply for a new pair anyway.

  22. Marianne says:

    You didn’t underline “appriciate” either. Editing fail!

  23. Deus Ex says:

    Present tense verb “choose” is perfectly fine in the sentence she used, even if not her intent it’s very defensable.

    made you jump on spelling of defensible

  24. Azuna says:

    *Fake*

  25. Steve says:

    She would probably get in to the honors program in my high school. You pretty much just had to show up more often than not, do at least a couple of the assignments, and not be stoned in class too often and you’re in!

  26. INeedTheWeed says:

    ALSO “COLLAGE” IS SPELLED “COLLEGE”

  27. firespinner says:

    I really hope that the post was not in face a misspelling teen but was cops pretending to be a teen to instead get a bunch of people to confess their crimes. LOL

  28. Anon says:

    The red lines under your words are NOT there to make your text look pretty. >_>

  29. budleee says:

    the idea of secrects is not original at all, don’t we have Post Secrets for this?

  30. diane says:

    She got “collage” and “college” right, though. I still have to think for a second to remember which is which.

  31. Has Dani ever really been so far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

  32. Ry says:

    How the hell did she spell words like “project” and “honors” wrong, but she managed to spell “potentially” and “collage” correctly?

  33. Bruce says:

    She’s an arts student, what do you expect?

  34. teh d00che – Presidon’t of teh Internetz says:

    *speechless*

  35. Kuroro says:

    “choose” in this context would be acceptable… although slightly hawkward

  36. Ara Rivers says:

    “guys’s” is actually correct. A lot of people think that the possessive of words ending in “S” should end with an apostrophe, but this is actually only an option. Both “guys’s” and “guys’” are correct :)

  37. mdaf says:

    They have a special program for honers? That’s nice, although honing isn’t really that complicated…

  38. This Name is a Lie says:

    Maybe he meant Boners? the ‘H’ and the ‘B’ keys are pretty close together.

  39. Whoever marked up the graphic by underlining the misspelled words also underlined “compleat”. However, this is an acceptable variant (albeit an archaic one) of the word “complete”.

  40. magnetsiknowhowtheywork says:

    I… am speechless. i was actually invited to this event by “dani” who is a close friend of mine O.o

  41. J says:

    haha, just checked the group’s page and the creator corrected most of the spelling errors. She probably just put it through spell check though because she still manages to use there instead of their. Way to learn from your fail. :P

  42. Peter says:

    Guys’s is actually correct
