Happy Outrageous Typo Day
In celebration of Friday, I offer a little English language horror — I mean humor.

And a bonus…
This is an interview with Spenser Elden, the kid who gained fame by appearing naked on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album, “Nevermind.”
Please, someone, make him stop talking aloud.

OH NO!!
I’ve seen so many examples of stuff like this, and I have to say: yes, it always makes me cringe inside. But I’ve also become a little more relaxed as an editor, at least when just seeing this stuff. I used to get quite upset. Now I can finally laugh!

Okay, WHY did they quote him directly?! I was like, “OMG,” and he was like, “Dude,” and then I was like, “That was, like, PAINFUL!!”
