Great, I've received this joke so many times, it's a BIG relief to have it utterly spoilt. Shattered. Run in the ground. Burned. Nuked. Destroyed. Savaged. Etc.

Spelling matters a lot... that's why I always double-check sentences with words like "shirt"

Spelling errors can't accept in any way. That's why we always get proofread two times.

I hope there is no particular reason why spelling jokes are passed on to you that frequently.
I am fascinated by anything in regard to how our brains work, so thanks for posting, Romina!

As you probably understood, I was being humerous... But I did see this joke already many, many times, and for a long, long time.
And yes, this little insight in the working of the brain that the video gave, was interesting indeed!

You must've meant "humorous", not "humerous" .

I think everyone - including myself - finds it is worth the effort when I do.
Still trying to avoid making them in the first place, but have not succeeded so far.
But thanks for the laugh!

Great. A spelling error (well, actually a typo) in a thread about spelling. Murphy's Law at work again. OK, I'll creep away under a stone and not show my face again for 600 years, when I'll have turned to humus (and thus be humerous). Warning: don't touch the stone, it'll be red hot from the amount of shameful blushing being done underneath it.

Actually, it's known as Muphry's Law.
Muphry's law is an adage that states that "if you write anything criticising editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written".

No, I didn't. You are thinking of M U R P H Y's Law.
I was referring to M U P H R Y's Law.
