Yesterday morning, I was surfing around on MySpace when I saw this:
Look closely at the second line of text. You’ll see the non-word “electic.” Must be a typo. Just to be sure, I checked with Google. Nothing there. I also checked with Urban Dictionary, just to make sure that “electic” isn’t some new form of web 2.0 speak. Still nothing.
While Tom and his cronies may have a lot of Rupert Murdoch‘s money, it looks like they still need to invest in the basics.
Like a spell checker. I also wonder if in place of “electic,” they meant to put “eclectic” or “electric.” We may never know.

lol – and at one point you said your spelling was shitty but you caught something that most of us didn’t even pay attention to. *smile* good job.

Actually, my spelling is usually pretty good. I was a 4th grade spelling bee finalist, you know. Though, I had originally spelled the word “cronies” in this entry as “croneys,” and that is incorrect. Looks like I need a spell checker, too.
