Fox & Friends tells its viewers which words are hard to spell

[underpants]

Only on Fox & Friends. This morning they did a segment on the English language and that there are a lot of words that many people find difficult to spell correctly. I stopped on monkey. I’m including video to complement the comedic irony.

Steve Doocy says that another word many find difficult to spell is the word soldier, because the “i” throws people off. The former beauty queen then pipes up and says — “Well, the D. There’s no D in it.” She follows that up by asking if they even make “hardcore” dictionaries anymore. Be sure to hang on (if you can make it) for the finale as Doocy decries:

“So many people are trying to dumb down America and the world! Just leave it the way it is! Study your books, people!”

Teh stupid…it hurts…. This is just screaming for a “Write Your Own Caption”

1. As Atrios says...

The stupid! It BUUURRRRRNNNNSSSS!!!!!

[Cant trust em]

2. Why do these people exist?

Subquestion...When they look in the mirror in the morning, do they see a happy person? Or a sad person trying to look happy?

3. From that picture alone

it's apparent that nothing worth hearing is going to be forthcoming.

6. 'I stopped on monkey'

MONKEY

4. Look at the word they are using as an example...

Yeah, just a coincidence, I bet. There are no other words "too hard to spell" in the English language.

5. "people having been using English for thousands of years"....

I know Julius Caesar(another hard word) had trouble with English as a second language(another hard word).

7. They forgot Potato(e)!!!

And Poleland two.

[Ilsa]

8. Spell correctly? These people can't even speak well.

So, the beauty queen has been spelling "soldier" as "soljer"?

9. why am I not surprised that FOX news consumers can't spell

"Monkey"?!? Really?

10. I want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Thanks for making me a little crazier today, underpants. :P

11. remember

Remember when the Barbie doll came out that said, "Math is hard?"

I have a feeling I don't need to draw the connection for this readership.

[jimshoes]

13. But to be fair

she could probably spend an hour talking about moisturizers and hair sprays and foundations and such like.

14. is it partisan ...

or does FOX seem to collect the mentally challenged talking heads?
