Spell check. It is embarrassing. How bad a Speller I am. It's terrible.

0:13.8

Sometimes I will write a word and spell check literally is looking at me like that means nothing in any language at all.

Nothing, right? Yeah. When you got that word that you can't spell it enough so that the phone can recognize what you're talking about.

0:32.4

Man, that is one of the worst spellings ever. So on his, on his podcast this week, in the moment,
