Words borrowed from other languages can be confusing, y’all. I mean, they don’t sound like they look — or is that they don’t look like they sound?<\/p>\n
Take armoire<\/em>, for example. Oh, it looks so innocent just sitting there, but don’t let it fool you. It is an evil, evil word. Witness the mayhem it causes on Craigslist — and these are just from the titles of posts!<\/p>\n (later misspelled again as “aourmor”)<\/h2>\n \nThese listings are courtesy of Jenny, Dani, Sara, Ciera, Cynzano, Ethan, hdickie, Chelsea, KCBlueGal, Steve, and dakota.<\/p>\n And then there’s Jess, the patron saint of armoire<\/em> misspellings, who submitted these armoronic treasures:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nI think my favorites are the armwaure<\/em> (just keep adding letters, you’ll get there eventually!) and Amore’<\/em>. (It’s foreign, it must require an accent, right? But don’t bother figuring out how to actually make an accent, just use an apostrophe.) <\/p>\n I also like the condescending yet misspelled and ungrammatical “thats’s storage thing for guys” — I’m unclear on whether this person thinks that only males may use an armoire, or whether they think that guys are too uncultured to know what an armoire is. Dan thinks that it means that that’s where one stores one’s guys … um, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go clean out my armoire before Dan looks in there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Words borrowed from other languages can be confusing, y’all.
