Women can’t spell
Did you know that women are atrocious spellers? It’s an obscure caveat of womankind that will usually elude detection, but I assure that it’s absolutely true.
In order to prove this I’ve compiled a short list of words that women have historically suffered only complete and disastrous failure when attempting to spell. Here is the list:
Chevrolet
bullion
kernels
sandwich
duct tape
beans
trophy
If you want to see this phenomenon in action (and have quite a good laugh at the absurd letters women will attempt to piece together in desperation) prepare yourself for quite a struggle. You see when asked to do things that they are no good at (ie, driving, thinking that does not involve puppies or how much they hate their best friends) women will defer the task immediately to the nearest man. This includes spelling.
Since it is part of our nature to be of assistance — to be constructive and positive at all times (probably because we know so much about so many fucking things), this ploy will work one hundred percent of the time. It’s typical woman manipulation though and nothing else.
I tested woman’s inability to spell properly in the real world by asking a group of ten women to spell the word foundation, which I learned had something to do with make-up completely by accident in an episode of CSI. I felt that this word-familiarity would give women the manufactured advantage that they so desperately need and crave in every fucking thing that they do.
My results not only proved conclusively that women cannot spell, but also that women will refuse to do any task that they cannot.
Now that we say for certain that men are better than women at spelling as well as everything else, I think as men it is our duty as the superior spellers par excellence to save women the disgrace and humiliation of having to clumsily defer any such spelling requests.
To a woman, the alphabet and its inner workings are like the mysteries of a Jack in the Box in the eyes of a child.

Sarah,
I don’t know if you read the warning, but women are expressly prohibited from reading this site…only for their own good of course. I suppose I could generate some kind of watered down, picture version of the site for women, but I just don’t have that kind of time.
I believe in your cause, however, so you can keep reading.
Start with the basics in your debate, for example: men always capitalize the word I when referring to themselves — this small caveat serves as a universal standard and makes it easier for people to communicate, thus increasing global quality of life. If women had their way, anything at all would be capitalized and hyphenated. Entire words would be replaced with simply letters. Can you imagine how ridiculous that would be?
Also feel free to use any of the articles here.

In the whole 19 years of my life…I have never known a man that could spell besides you. Now, that’s now saying all men are bad at spelling, I’ve also looked up websites of words that men can’t spell for the life of them. Is it just that you would just prefer to defend manside of the matter, or is it that you just can’t handle the woman side of the matter? I know how to spell chevrolet because I love cars, I don’t know what bullion is, but I doubt I’d need it in my life in order to survive, but it doesn’t mean I can’t spell, I know how to spell kernels though there is no point in the fact that I hate popcorn, I know how to spell sandwich which is also redundant to the fact that I hate sandwiches, though I do love duct tape therefore I do know how to spell it because duct tape rules and is like the force, has a dark side and a light side and holds the universe together, and of course I bloody love beans, they are a magical fruit and I of course use it to the best of my ability though my friends, family, and other living things rather I didn’t, and trophy is easy, you must be finding rather uneducated women, or women who do not need spelling in order to survive their carreer, job or any other manner. I love this website. I’ll make sure to show it to all of my friends, both men and women. Although most of the men I know would be absolutely appalled by it, does that mean they are not men? Or male? How does that work? What happens when a guy doesn’t agree with your thoughts of women? Because he thinks equally of men and women…does that mean he is not a man? Or are you openly just defending your own opinion, or do you think you speak for all men, which in this case is not true. I know men who think women are better than men and they are still just as tough, just as assholeish as any other man I love. I’d love your thoughts on this.
P.S. I don’t know one woman that hates sex….in fact, all the girls I know are pretty much like I….raging nymphos, but only to our men. You must be meeting the wrong women. Good luck on that.

People IN GENERAL are bad spellers. Doing a “test” on a bunch of stupid women doesn’t prove anything, because a lot of men are too stupid to spell “foundation” as well. About 25% of adults in the U.S. are functionally illiterate, which means they read at a 4th grade reading level. This is pathetic because most people are stupid, not just most women.

Because I am a woman and therefore have an imagination that is not solely limited to imagining various sex acts with various animate and inanimate objects, I am going to mentally insert the word ’some’ before both ‘men’ and ‘women’ in the url for this website.
Sweeping generalizations can be fun, and even I can see the humour in this website, but as a woman who can spell, enjoys sex, can cross the street just fine and is NOT a cheating whore, I am going to smile at the funny things I see here, ignore the rude and uninformed comments posted by both men and women and happily continue on my merry way.

Women can’t spell?? Well if women can’t spell then how come most of the winners in the Scripp’s Howard National Spelling Bee have been in fact women! This website is only widening the gender gap and causing more women to be angry and frustrated with men. Why do you feel like you need to prove yourself by belittling women? I think that men are just as smart, talented, and capable as any women. I would never be as arrogant to say one sex is better than the other. Or that one race is better than the other. Or that one religion is better than the other. Let’s stop this immaturity. Men we value you and respect you. Stop being so angry at women and show us some respect in return

guilty as charged on my ability to spell, but i can spell all the words on your list.
i’m really lazy, and when i’m in the flow of writing, the idea of stopping to look up a word is anathema to me.
it’s a bad habbit, and as a good writer, i receive subtle ridicule for this character flaw.
however, i have never deferred certain tasks to men - have always been very independent that way.
i built my own computer, assembled my own ikea stuff, even a rather complicated waredrobe, learned the basics of wiring on my own.
with regards to another post about women being lousy musicians, i wouldn’t compare myself with mozart, but i did teach myself to read music, and play two instruments, with a rather advanced level of competency in a period of six months.
with regards to the computer, i still consider myself to be a technical idiot.
after building it, i lost all interest in maintaining it, and i admit i still call the nearest technitian when something goes amis.
anyway - you just can’t win.
i really loved the feeling of independence i got from doing these things, but then i was suspected of being a dyke.
which i’m not.
and my husband, who told me is primary reason for falling in love with me, aside from my ability to listen and make him feel important (because he was, at least to me) was my intelligence.
and of course, in the end, he loathed and despised me for it.
again, just can’t win.
i’ve been through a lot in this life.
i’ve heard the ideals.
i’ve seen the realities.
we’ve all been hurt, and misunderstood.
life has knocked the stuffing out of me, and i’ve spent these last two years finding new stuffing.
one thing that is a real relief to me, is the ability to accept the fact that i’m flawed, taking the opportunity to improve upon these flaws where i can, and the warewithal to admit that yes, in some ways, i’m a complete idiot, and always will be.
it dosn’t mean i don’t have my strengths though.
one of my strengths is my dedication and commitment to truth and honesty - not all women are moral jellyfish, and not all women are your enemies.

Just because women read more than men doesn’t make them better at it. All that really proves is that women don’t get it the first time, so they have to do the same thing over and over again, or just have to look for other sources. Women can’t spell, and this site proves it. Just look at the comments placed after Dick’s posts. You will clearly see that (aside from a few obvious typos) women are by far make the most fuck-ups with spelling [my favourite being the time when this dumb broad spelled biased as buyist].

You might want to check out a little device called the apostrophe. As for the substance of your comment… Yeah. That’s why the best-selling novels for women are romance novels that are basically soft-corn porn.
And the best-selling novels for men are techno-thrillers like Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton or legal thrillers like John Grisham.
Relationships in a woman’s book:
Relationships in a man’s book:
Yeah. ‘All men think about is sex.’
No. Men think about reproduction and survival of the species a great deal. That’s subtly different and far less selfish that whatever the heck many women think about with their ‘ivory gates’.

So what if men and/or women do think about sex a lot? It is not like sex is unhealthy or wrong. Women think about sex just as much as men do, if not more…but who cares which gender thinks more about it and why? Unless you allow sexual urges or fantasies to ruin/ hinder your life or the lives of people around you, thinking about sex is harmless…. and fun!

I’m sure that you will all try to disprove me by saying “Oh, but no, I had a male kindergarten teacher,” or “my daddy taught me spellin’ on his knee when I was a wee scrappy youngin’”, but I’m willing to guess that that’s a load of crap and that you were taught how to write, and consequently, how to spell, by female teachers in primary. My mom was the one who taught me. The statistics show a higher amount of female teachers than male, and lets at least pretend to have some scientific argument here.
I still think your argument is weak, which probably comes from too much time spent reading actually well reasoned arguments that actually have more quantitative data than “I asked a group of 10 gals, and they blew me off, so obviously they were too embarrassed by the fact that they can’t spell, so therefore I am right! Youppie!”
I do feel sorry for you, because it seems you’ve been surrounded by horrible women your entire life and that has chased you away from ever getting to know decent ones. Or maybe you know some “exceptions” to the rule, but the one or two annoying ones have stuck out in your mind have made you afraid of women in general. That’s sad really. Poor you.
No, but thanks. It’s fun reading rants of people with completely off the wall arguments about nothing at all. Sometimes I listen to fundamentalist Christian talk radio just to get my heart pumping from all the stupid things they say. All the contradictions they make. Good times.
ps. To respond to your other article “thingies” - you argued that no religion had women as dieties. God in Hebrew is a feminine noun and God actually has no gender. Most polytheitic religions have numerous female deities, and usually the most important ones are female. So, yeah, Jesus was a dude. Jesus does not equal all religions and therefore the end.
Also you wrote that when men cheat, they admit to it, which is the only reason we hear more about men in sex scandals than women. If you noticed on the news this past month, men fucking little boys (which I would include in the definition of cheating on their wives) is only brought to light when other men are power hungry enough to expose their opponants’ moral bankruptiveness.
If, like you argued in another post, you can’t judge all mankind by one or two evil men, than how can you say all women are stupid whores who are inherently evil and the pain in your womanhating ass? Not to bring your mother into this…

First of all, it’s poor form to adjoin a “post scriptum” that’s nearly as elaborate and encompassing whilst even more vacuous and superficial than the bulk of your comment.
It’s also poor form to addend a “post scriptum” here in the first place, considering you can’t really edit your draft, once submitted. Not much of a post scriptum, is it? More like a cheap publicity stunt.
As for your actual points, I believe any commentary I could contribute in regard thereof would prove redundant. I could facilely argue that, had men been significantly more present in the education system from primary on through high school, not just universities and academies, things would likely
I could edify you by relating my own actual experiences with the female pedagogical cadres. From the mostly utterly useless and strenuous curriculum and unto reprimands in the form of physical abuse, abysmal teaching skills and outright incompetence or limited competence in the field they teach in, apathetic dereliction of duty and flagrant absenteeism in the months prior the HSAT and baccalaureate, a penury of effective empathic leadership… it all screams women in charge.

Whoever told you that was lying, or was un-educated in Hebrew. “God” in Hebrew is “El” meaning “Mighty One.” Not a feminine noun. The other term often used is Adonai, meaning “Master” and that is deffinately not a feminine noun. Sorry to inform you that you are greatly mistaken.

Another great article, thanks for this site it’s informative and funny, which is not surprising considering it’s written by a man. My point is, although women are crap at spelling and communication in general, it is not only because they do not think, but also because of their Princess Complex and their assumption that everyone should be able to read their minds that they do not feel the need to correct themselves or check their work. Great example is using a messenger like MSN, I’ve chatted to loads of bitches and the way they type is almost illegible, save for the fact that I can (being a man) successfully interpolate and estimate sentences and written structures sufficiently to understand what they are talking shit about. Although that’s really giving them too much credit. I don’t need to check this as it’s most probably correct.

I believe God said that men rule. And he meant we should rule and that women needed to be ruled over. Women being like children need mens direction whehter they want it or not. The bible says that if a man and woman divorce then she should return to live with her Father if he is alive and of course another man of the family if not.
She gets nothing from a bad marraige.
If we returned to that idea. I gaurantee you would see divorce rates plummet. Children should never be allow to raise themselves.

According to historical revisionist Christian feminists(paradox).. Everything GOD told the Israelites in the Old Testament is null because Jesus told people not to beat and stone their wives.
Naturally, the feminist/mangina translation of Christ saying “don’t stone whores” is “We can fuck, lie, cheat, and steal as much as we want and no negative consequences should occur.”
All part of the suicide countdown clock of the West. Us in the know can simply choose not to marry, but there’s the problem of creating new males to succeed us.

@Golden “Although that’s really giving them too much credit. I don’t need to check this as it’s most probably correct”
Quite true. You’re a man after all. Try not to refer to women so harshly though.
@Billy “If we returned to that idea. I gaurantee you would see divorce rates plummet.”
Cuts both ways. Means a man can’t dump his aging wife. I’m all for that. Do keep in mind this hasn’t been one-sided; promiscuous men have benefited from naturally promiscuous women.
@SotS I disagree with your premises. You do raise an interesting point in your ’suicide countdown clock of the West’.
