Competitive Spell Checking

My family is ultra competitive. We may seem fun and laid back, but we will compete over literally everything. If it’s not already a competition (say, breathing) we’ll make it into one (like who takes the most breaths per minute or who can go the longest without breathing.)

It’s a sickness, but I think it might be the secret to our closeness.

I once screamed “GET ON WITH IT WOMAN” to my grandpa’s wife when she was trying to come up with a clue while we played a family game of Taboo on Christmas Day. And I’m not ashamed to admit it. I mean, it’s a timed game.

It is with this background that I give you this email exchange with my aunts and uncles and parents and grandpa without further comment.

Aunt Lori (after she sent an emailing saying “right” instead of “write”: 

Correction: “write” a note. Jeez.

Lori’s Brother Dan:

Don’t worry sis, I’m sure everyone knows that you don’t not know how to spell and use good grammar.

Aunt Di:

I new that.

Aunt Shay:

Me two.

My Dad:

Leave Lori a loan!

Me:

Their, they’re, Lori! Don’t loose you’re good attitude about it. Its something that definately effects all of us at some point weather or not we want it too.

My Grandpa:

It looked write to me.

Lori’s Brother Dan:

The responses are hilarious! I am laughing so hard I think I’m going to pea in my pants.

Aunt Janet: 

Four reel now … where did we all go to skool?

 

Even who can be the most grammatically incorrect is a game. Which I obviously won. Grammatically Incorrect Champion of 2012!
