Everyone is *really* struggling to spell ‘pregnant’ correctly on Yahoo Answers

How can so many people find so many ways to spell it wrong?

If you’ve ever been on the internet (and many of us have) you’re never far away from a grammar fascist.

You know the types that jump on every misplaced comma, incorrectly-spelled word or auto-correct fail you’ve written in your drunken 4am Facebook post or political rants.

They’re the same people that probably wander around with a t-shirt that reads ‘Grammar: the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit’.

But someone has taken this to a whole new (and to be fair, quite hilarious) level.

They’ve scoured the Yahoo Answers board for spelling fails and it seems like they’ve struck upon a goldmine.

It turns out there are a lot of people out there in the world grappling with the word ‘pregnancy’.

YouTuber J.T Sexkik basically found a load of perfectly innocent and legitimate questions about pregnancy from men and women on the site and then read them out in a daft voice.

While we know that nobody’s perfect when it comes to spelling and grammar, but there are some pretty colourful attempts here…
