Friday Funnies: S*/pammers Can't Spell!

Have you noticed lately that spammers can't spell?  English is a funny language having borrowed so many words from other languages (some of which are considered dead!).  Spelling an English word can be, to say the least, frustrating.  However, I am not the world's best speller, but some of the mistakes made by spammers these days jump right out at even ME! First of all, everyone should know that there are certain characters that just don't belong sm*ack in the middle of  w/ords.  And spammers should at least proofread their spam to make sure they don't any words out! They often leave a blank space in be tween words making it lo ok like two. Sometimes they add an apostrophe where it doesnt belong and leave one out where it do'es. Then there's the spammer whose first language obviously isn't English. I knowing this because they frequently add "ing" to certain verbs.  This is also obvious because of the use of so many dog, cat, bumblebee, winning smile, extraneous words and phrases.  But the thing that really boggles my mind is the speelling.  After all, if youre goi*ng to s/ell it, shouldnt you knowing' how to spell..."Viacugra"? There are some things we Spam Recipients can do to block spam from coming into our inbox.  I have blocked all incoming email that makes reference to certain words, but those w*ords keep coming through.  I don't know how those w/ords keep getting through after I have blocked those exact w*rds from coming through, but those wor*ds just keep slipping through anyway!  S*pam is jus't so pickl es and puppies annoying!  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ JoJo Tabares holds a degree in Speech Communication, but it is her humorous approach to communication skills which has made her a highly sought-after Christian speaker and writer.  Her articles appear in homeschool publications, such as Homeschool Enrichment Magazine and The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, which also endorses her Say What You Mean curricula.  You can also find JoJo on web sites such as Crosswalk.com and Dr.Laura.com.  For more information on communication FUNdamentals and Christian-based communication skills for the whole family, please visit http://www.ArtofEloquence.com ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ From JoJo's Purple Crayon...
