Like it or not, but the words you speak and the grammar you use tells a lot about you. Sure, spelling errors might happen to even the best of us, but 'ritin lyk dis' won't get you promoted. Yet, sometimes, people don't really realize how much of a difference good or bad grammar can make. Or spelling mistakes. Luckily, the grammar police usually help us clear things up by doing a thorough spell-check.
Below, Bored Panda has put together a list of funny spelling mistakes that we're hilariously caught by the grammar police. Every single pic shows how something like forgetting a comma can give your sentence a completely different meaning! So keep on scrolling to check out the power of punctuation and spelling, and don't forget to vote for these funny fails!

Maybe they had a pregnancy scare. In that scenario, loving her period would be appropriate.
He more than likely spoke into his phone and when he said "period" it put the word.
Had a guy who told me that once. No punctuation missing... I couldn't have sex for a week.
I fear for the future. It seems like every generation is getting more stupid than the previous one.
People have been saying that since at least the beginning of history. It just seems that way because you get wiser and more knowledgeable as you get older.

Maybe because English is not the first language for many on this site.

I take issue with this collective assumption that a person's intellect is contingent on knowing when to use a semicolon. I love English and I majored in it. But I've met brilliant people who are functionally illiterate. This post is more snark than laughs. Just my $.02
While your point is valid, there is way more wrong in these examples than mere semicolon usage. I was a s****y speller up until my mid twenties and I was still not as bad as these examples. I cared to improve and did improve. So many people seem to just take the "you're perfect the way you are" stance, become indignant and angry, and continue on as they are. While there are neurological disorders that make learning to spell much more difficult than average, the will to work at it is what tells the story. I've seen so many people effectively declare that Facebook/texting excuses them from minimal effort at communication. I would never want to engage such people as an educator, a doctor etc.

OK, let's start with the word, 'fails.' It's a verb. The noun is 'failure,' just as 'reveal' is a verb and the noun is 'revelation.' English has gotten so dumbed down in the last 20 years it's sickening.
I probably should not have even commented. My typing and texting grammar leaves a few holes.
