DECEMBER 14--A tip for poor spellers everywhere: If you’re going to retaliate against an ex for ending a relationship by vandalizing their car with a derogatory word, go out and get yourself a dictionary.

Last month, Vermont resident Brittany Speckman discovered that her 2005 Pontiac had been keyed and the license plate was bent. The hood of the vehicle, which was parked across the street from Speckman’s Bennington home, had scratches on it that appeared to spell out “sult.”

Yes, someone was actually trying to brand Speckman a “slut.”

According to an affidavit filed in Superior Court, it did not take long for Speckman to identify Adam Hall, a former boyfriend, as the suspected vandal. As she explained to a cop, “she did not think Hall could spell at all.” Additionally, Speckman discovered two prior text messages in which Hall, 34, referred to her as a “sult.”

1. His lawyer's best defense? He mean to say, "You are the sult of the earth."

2. Hmmm...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sult

Sult may refer to:
Sult, Albania, a municipality in the Gramsh District, Elbasan County, central Albania
Hunger (novel), a novel written by Norwegian author Knut Hamsun.
Hunger (1966 film) directed by Henning Carlsen, based upon the Knut Hamsun novel.
Sult or Sultr, the name of the eating knife belonging to Hel, queen of the underworld in Norse mythology.

Not sure that helps.
