We all love Buzzfeed, but sometimes they slack on the final edit. All of these “fails” are screenshots taken by me while I was surfing on Buzzfeed today. Yeah, TODAY. Step it up, kids! Proofread! It’s your best friend (and your job)! So without further ado…
1. Some “stationary”
2 of these are slightly not actually stationary.
2. Numbers are hard
Is it 5? Are you sure? Are you really sure?
3. This tshirt snafu
I’m really confused what’s happening here. Is Kelly Clarkson a new substitute for a swear word? Is she so bad she’s a synonym for the f-word? Fellow youths, help me out here!
4. This actor recognition failure
Listen, I love Chiwetel Ejiofor! He’s a phenomenal actor! But this is not Chiwetel Ejiofor. Not even close.
5. Spelling is hard
This quiz asked me to make a word out of these two letters. Is “IF” not in your vocabulary???
6. Lack of diversity
Good thing I’m white, cause I have plenty of choices! Sucks for the majority of the population though :/ And while we’re talking about this particular article…
7. Casual appropriation
Yeaaaaaah. I shouldn’t have to explain this one, but if you’re not up to date on the latest ways you can appropriate Native American (and many others’ cultures) practices, then click here.
8. Not American (?) spelling idk
Honestly, this one’s a little nit-picky. But Americans don’t generally spell lasagna like this, so I’m putting it in here.
9. Releasing the ID of a minor
Pretty sure you’re supposed to retract the name of a minor once the case progresses from being a missing person’s, but what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10. Misspelling
Another small mistake, but cmon guys. If I, a non-baker but otherwise Great British Bake Off enthusiast, knows this is wrong, then you, author of this article who clearly has some knowledge of what these things are, should know this too.
Think I’m being a little too unfair? Let me know in the comments!
