  1. cacapeepee says:

    and second too!!!!!

  2. titmonger says:

    At least they understand the possessive aprostrophy…

  3. loufail says:

    Time to launch Missippi’s spelling program

  4. Stryder says:

    The editor is obviously a product of the old literacy program.

  5. Name (required) says:

    Hhahahahhaa

  6. SJ says:

    … but not by much.

  7. pwner of N00bs says:

    Irony at its finest!

  8. DanBootleg says:

    that’s not a fail, it’s clear in mississipi there were more typeos in the headlines of newspapers before this article, they have now narrowed it to a single mistake

  9. Phaet says:

    Oh c’mon! Noone knows how to spell Misispii! Even George W. Bush can’t spell that.

  10. littleone says:

    It was written by the Associated Press, what did you expect? They make up their own news, their own polls and apparently their own spelling as well. Public edumication FTW!

  11. Seeeks says:

    Now that’s ironic.

  12. Koki Kariya says:

    Are we sure they are actually talking about “Mississippi” and not some town called Missippi? It just seems this is too stupid even for the AP.

    • Nell says:

      Positive. Google maps has only one Missippi and it’s a street in Altheimer, AR. However, a Google search for Missippi turns up hundreds of web pages that don’t know how to spell.

    • Wakka Wakka says:

      Not to mention, it’s unlikely that the AP would run an article about a literacy program in a town no one’s heard of.

  13. bill says:

    Missippi -
    This is how southern people say and sometimes write Mississippi; Mississippi-iss=Missippi
    Hey y’all!! I’m from Missippi.

  14. qwerty says:

    Hey, from where I came from, we eat babies all the time.

    That’s one of the better brands the local supermarkets stock.

    [not]

  15. Sprite101 says:

    Just… wow. Spellchecker not catch that?

  16. Isengrim says:

    Gee, I guess they didn’t play that kids’ chanting game that actually forces you to spell “Mississippi”.

    ‘Course, I mistyped on one of my lolz and someone favourited it before I noticed .. DOH!

    !

  17. This is very sad for me, because I live in Alabama. We are only 2 states away from them.

  18. Tyler Kuhn says:

    Mrs. Sippy has been teaching kids for long enough. Let her daughter follow in her noble footsteps.

  19. Blackup says:

    A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and engage in animated conversation.
    The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but she listens in horror as one of the men says the following;

    “Emma come first. Den I come.

    Two asses, dey come together. I come again.

    Two asses, dey come together again. I come again and pee twice.

    Then I come once-a more.”

    “You foul-mouthed swine,” retorted the lady indignantly.
    “In this country we don’t talk about our sex lives in public!”

    “Hey, coola down lady,” said the man. “Imma just tellun my friend howa ta spella Mississippi.”

  20. Franticskwerrel says:

    That HAS to be fake.

  21. Avis says:

    *wonders how bad it was before, if this is an improvement*

  22. Greenbandit says:

    Hooked on Phonics: Not so great, actually.

    • Torlek says:

      Actually the spelling’s phonetically correct as a Mississippi native would say it. This might be a phonics win.

      • Conanabanana02 says:

        I had to read this thing out loud about 8 times before finally getting that Mississippi was spelled wrong. lol.

      • Gritz says:

        Eh, no, a Mississippi native would not say it like that. Been here 24 years; not even close to saying it. Although, I’m pretty sure the worse parts of Mississippi (Jackson, Columbia, Petal, Sumrall, smaller hick places) would probably agree with you.

    • Gladiator763 says:

      Hooked on Phonics…is that what they’re calling it now?

  23. czuhc says:

    “Missippi”. It would effectively shorten the seconds.

  24. atchus says:

    Sinceramente me parece una CHORRADA de FAIL
    a ver quien cojones es el listo que se acuerda de escribir correctamente la palabra

  25. mrs doubtfire says:

    obviously not improved enough.

  26. mrs doubtfire says:

    Them teechers aint hardly lernt me nothing.

  27. potter says:

    Perhaps the Associated Press needs to get together with whoever improved the “Missippi” literacy program…

  28. Gritz says:

    That makes me feel horrible because I’m from Mississippi! Ah.. but that newspaper probably isn’t from Mississippi itself. Hm. Oh, well. Still feel lousy. Lol.

  29. Brittany says:

    Big improvement! Last year they only got to Mippi

  30. Dan says:

    mississippi* programme*

  31. BHollow says:

    eveyone does know thats spelling not literacy right?literacy is the abilty to read and stuff and spelling is spelling stuff right…so yeah i could basicly screencap theses comments and post it as a fail

  32. BHollow says:

    yep

  33. Boyah says:

    How is this fail? Miss Ippi is improving her literacy skills, so?

  34. YOU FAIL AT LIFE says:

    literacy fail, irony win

  35. trusts says:

    not enough room for the whole word?

  36. cacapeepee says:

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
