NOT ON CATURDAY! - kevir, on 10/11/2007, -12/+160Took me a while, too. They spelled "Maryland" wrong.
- dshPls, on 10/11/2007, -12/+154My home ciyt!!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -23/+156What's missing the 7? Are talking about his number forming 1337? Last time I checked, if you added a 7 to the number sequence 113, there is no way you could make it say 1337. Maybe I'm just missing your joke though. (By the way, I'm not trying to come off as antagonistic here.)

- MadRat779, on 10/11/2007, -33/+149It's missing the 7...
- buyer687, on 10/11/2007, -15/+126im in ur threadz, annoyin u with lolcatz.
- xShad0w, on 10/11/2007, -17/+116Hmm I didn't know it was Maryalnd, boy all these years saying it wrong, i feel stupid
- SonicRush, on 10/11/2007, -22/+105It's just a typo... not front page material in my opinion.
- lemonoust, on 10/11/2007, -5/+81Baltimore, Maryalnd
- Alex76, on 10/11/2007, -13/+88Ok, I am retarded. What is wrong with this pic?
- mattmcm, on 10/11/2007, -11/+79@frieddonuts (#6991432) said: "It would have been funnier if they had actually misspelled a word."
Well, you see, that's exactly what they did. - slash128gnr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+67I just thought it was someone from Baltimore making it into a spelling bee.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+65About as funny like one time I saw someone spell it : Road Island
- Hepburn82, on 10/11/2007, -9/+61Not strictly true, but funny all the same. You get a figg drom me.
- channada, on 10/11/2007, -4/+54@roger
Ok, I really hope you're joking because if not... you do realize that the whole word IS on the sign, there's just two letters switched. - reknaps, on 10/11/2007, -6/+40Even more ironic that the cities slogan is "The City That Reads"
...or it was before the new "Get in on it!" slogan - themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+33Me fail english? That unpossible!
- mutatron, on 10/11/2007, -8/+34We drove through Maryalnd on that little stretch where you can be in four states within about 30 minutes: Virgniia, Wset Virgniia, Maryalnd, and Pennslyvania. We were on a driving trip from Texsa to Massachsuetts.
- bendedavis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22Best Spelling Bee moment ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06JUfkiMOVc - spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20There's a difference between spelling something wrong and making a typo imo, I think that's what he was getting at.
It's the person's typing/checking abilities that are in question, not their ability to spell, which kinda detracts from the irony. - user777, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18Nobody spells BEE with a drawing. Jeez, what has this world become?
- abdulla, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19I remember reading up on something that showed you can read a sentence perfectly if all the words have all the letters, and all but the first and last letter of each word are jumbled. So it makes it hard to catch errors like this at first glace because you often recognise them as what they're meant to be.
- auhsor, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17This one?
"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. ceehiro." - Rocketbird, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17That's stupid..it's just a typo. Hardly a spelling error. It's not like anyone would actually misspell "land" as "alnd"
- respekt, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17They didn't either.
- Timmaay, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13@SonicRush
It's a typo at a national spelling bee... - Bansuri, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Dugg for linking directly to the photo! Amazing, no click-through or blog rubbish! Just a photo.
Thanks! - PRlME, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13the mic is upside down?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Silly sign writers, I before E except after C!
- charlie55, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10rarely is it more obvious that a mistake was a typo and not a spelling problem. if i type "aslo", do you think i dont know how to spell "also"? of course not. its a typo, idiots.
- Marshalrusty, on 10/11/2007, -7/+16reknaps: Even more ironic that the cities slogan is "The City That Reads"
Even more ironic is that "cities" should be "city's" in that sentence. - PueSi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12I was trying to be funny ("worng") but i'll stop. Sorry.
- Klarth, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Yes
- doodoodoodoo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Let are kids learn!
- mc7winkie, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11Should I feel bad if I thought Catapult was spelled wrong?
- theone3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8That's okay. You're frogiven.
- bovox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8There is a HUGE difference between a misspelling and a typo. THAT is obviously a typo. Lighten up.
- ltkerr0r, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Probably just a typo. Would be more ironic if it was a typing competition.
- jennamalia, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5You need to get out more. May I suggest a knitting bee?
- StephenCIreland, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8@bobthebuiilder25
NEVERRR !!!!!
Trashcat is not amused by your dislike of the lolcats ! - knoit911, on 10/11/2007, -6/+10http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/photo/2007-05/30182854.jpg has it, -from a real newspaper too.
- theone3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5matt- Marieland is a spelling error. Marlyalnd is a typo. Comprende?
- sctechguy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Uh, you DO know that catapult isn't the thing that's wrong in the picture.....right?
- wingo123, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8@Klarth - Hey man, do you need a hug?
- jtizzle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Nobody cares about your ***** blog.
- msjacoby, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Oh, they misspelled Murderland.
- digitaltrav, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Digg my observation down all you want, it doesn't change the definition of Irony. It seems our lazy generation will speak in AOL/MySpace/Text Messaging memes entirely by the end of the century. If you don't like smarmy 10 year olds, why are you clicking, reading, and responding to a post about the Scripps Spelling Bee? It's the unofficial "gentleman's club" of smarmy 10 year olds across the nation.
