The English language contains an extensive variety of words, so it makes sense that some of them would be spelled and pronounced quite similarly. With homophones like "blue" and "blew" and homonyms like "dove" and "dove," it's honestly a wonder that people can learn English as a second language at all.
But even people who grew up speaking the language can have some trouble spelling commonly used words, and the results of such mistakes are sometimes enough to change the entire meaning of a sentence.
Even though it may not always be right to laugh at other people's mistakes, sometimes you just can't help it. Just like these construction fails that are almost too funny for words, spelling errors can also inspire some serious laughter in the right circumstances. But before you get a giggle out of other people's mistakes, you might want to take this quiz and see if you might be apt to make the same errors in your writing. I thought I was a spelling ace, but I had way more trouble than I thought I would.
If you want to see just how much of a difference just a letter or two can make, take a look at these spelling fails that transformed normal phrases into hilarious ones. I can't believe no one caught number 7… and now it's in public for everyone to see!
