Bad Spelling Memes and Photos Straight From the Wild
At Thunder Dungeon, we have a tradition of sending the worst spelling fails we find to our group chat at 2 a.m.—because if you can’t laugh at “Sloopy Joe’s” or “Mopday Special,” you’re missing out on the best kind of internet humor. These are the memes that unite English teachers, word nerds, and anyone who’s ever suffered through an autocorrect disaster. Spelling memes are proof that, for all our technology, the humble typo remains undefeated.
I’ll never forget when I worked at a coffee shop and misspelled “mocha” on the chalkboard menu for two straight weeks before anyone noticed. The customer who finally pointed it out took a picture—and now, thanks to the internet, my fail lives forever. These bad spelling memes capture viral fails from signs, menus, and homework assignments around the world. Some are the result of epic autocorrect mistakes, others are good old-fashioned human error, and a few are so creative you almost want to give them an award. English memes, sign fails, and language humor are more viral than ever, as people compete to spot the most outrageous mistakes out in the wild.
