30 People Who Have No Idea How To Spell “Quarantine” Correctly
111Kviews
This corn of teen is getting on everyone's last nerve—at least according to Twitter, that is. If you've noticed that something is off about that sentence—fear not, it does not (necessarily) mean that Bored Panda is run by a bunch of illiterate folks. However, we did notice a strange... ehm, trend, recently? As it turns out, there are more people who can't spell "quarantine" than we'd like to believe. So. Many. Of Them. As some would say, the number of people referring to "quarantine" as "corn of teen" is just too damn high!
Therefore, we made you a list of people whose grammar and spelling skills are not their strongest suits. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but nothing wrong with having a little laugh, either, right? So scroll down below and vote for the entries that made you chuckle!

"Day 10 of Corn Teen: Bought myself a dictionary. Did you know the words and aren't in the dictionary!?"
and with that level of spelling, you should be back in (online) school :)
I don’t know... I was thinking of making my next teen out of broccoli. I need a broccoliteen no more cornteens.
My suggestion: work on your grammar and spelling skills. Information and courses are readily available on-line.

oh lol took me a second
Lol me too
I don't blame you, it took me a second after I wrote it hahaha...
I think even spell check couldn't compute!
I'm pretty sure it's just a shared joke. Probably one person spelled it wrong and everyone else copied for the laughs. Too much of a coincidence that they all spelled it wrong, but the same.
It is a joke that’s why the only thing funny to me here is the people who think it isn’t😂
For those of you who don't know its pronounced "spell check anyone"
Honestly, this is sad
This speaks volumes on the educational system in North America.
It's not just the education it's the entire culture ~ this is why our education fails us. It's more important to wear Nike and go viral. No one wants to be well educated, it's not "cool."
Scribe, it is probably more indicative of their age, class, and level of laziness to not use a keyboard or keypad.

Do you really think these few idiots represents all N.America? I'm sure you've got more than your country's share of idiots where you are.
Pretty sure it's just a joke. What are the chances everyone who couldn't spell it right would spell it the same?
Tried it on three different devices. Typed "q u a..." and at no point did "corn teen" or "corn tine" pop up
These people never typed “q“ in the first place.
Starting right you get to the right answer, no surprise. But if you live in a verbal culture and haven't spotted it written out, how are you going to guess that "Q U ..."? These are the people that watch a 5-10min youtube video instead of reading a one-paragraph answer, when trying to solve anything (whether homework or resetting a device).
"Verbal culture" is both a generational and regionally class-based concept. Having tried numerous voice-to-text applications and programs, my regional American accent doesn't work well. Hence, I type every letter slowly, on purpose, even on my desktop computer (from whence I now comment). Using verbal 'anything' is both choice and decision. No one forced them to NOT use a keyboard or keypad. -Dr M, college professor, Gen X'er (not Boomer)
