Ran across this very smart doggie, carrying a big sign with an important message

1. "Affect." Stupid dog.

[JHB]

2. Doggie school doesn't teach spelling...

...so just think of all the ones he got right.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Yeah, yeah. Always excuses. He's not going to college with an attitude like that.

[jtuck004]

21. Maybe Mi$$ Rmoney went to Doggie school. That would explain a lot. He can't spell either. n/t

[JHB]

25. Wedon't know that, since he doesn't do his own spelling...

He pays people to do that, and like any good CEO puts cost-containment over quality. Proofreaders cost money, y'know!

[jtuck004]

26. I considered that - but I am not sure a person who can spell could stomach hiring

someone who can't.

I think the only things he knows how to spell for sure might be debit and credit. Oh, and bankruptcy.

[JHB]

33. And "fired"

[Bandit]

38. He spelled Effect perfectly.

It is very hard for me to know exactly when it should be effect or affect. In the dictionary they mean pretty much the same thing..

[Mira]

4. Dogs can't spell, but they can think!

In the last election I noticed many in NC can't do either.

[Granny M]

24. And they always tell the truth.....

Right wingers could learn a lot from dogs....

[Greybnk48]

5. Sheesh! he's a fricking dog!

I think he writes exceptionally well and is clearly intelligent.

[pnwmom]

6. I know. He's a fantastic speller and printer, for a dog! n/t

[treestar]

7. LOL

But give this dog credit for what he can do! He can write at all! There are humans who would make that mistake and more.

9. Bizarre... Someone Photoshopped the E's. This version is correct...

Notice that both occurrences of "E" in the original post don't look like other "E's" on the sign. I wonder why any fool would go to the trouble just to make a dog look dumb. Or, perhaps this version was altered to make the pooch seem smarter.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. I think in yours I see a little Whiteout under the A in the second 'AFFECT.'

Clearly a correction's been made. My yellow lab tries to gaslight me like this all the time. It's not going to work with this pup, either.

[targetpractice]

14. Thank you so much...

...for the best laugh I've had all weekend. I've only recently learned what gaslighting is all about (unfortunately)... Never thought the word could cause me to crack-up!

[Mira]

18. So damn funny! So damn true, too.

[SaB2012]

23. It's not really white-out

It's a lightening caused by pixelization when the person who corrected it cloned the "A" from the first "as."

[Mira]

12. WOW - amazing.

It's possible that the pooch didn't write the damn thing himself and only made the changes.
It's a weird world out there.

[SaB2012]

22. Actually, no. The "correct version" is the photoshopped one.

I easily confirmed this by merely zooming in on the text and noting that the "A" in the second "affect" is exactly the same (except for some pixelization) as the "A" in the first "as."

As for the "E's," there's actually no rhyme or reason to how they look in the original version with the bad spelling. In "same-sex" they are virtually "C's"" with lines through them, but then in "marriage" and "me," they are squared.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

29. {sigh} Do you expect us to believe a dog knows how to photoshop?

[SaB2012]

34. Well, the lack of opposable thumbs makes it kind of a bitch

But yeah.

Ooo! "Bitch"... "dog"... I'm punny! And I didn't even try.

[Towlie]

35. While they're photoshopping they could erase the "I am a dog" part too. That's pretty obvious.

[SaB2012]

39. Well, you know...

There are some people who might not know...

[struggle4progress]

40. Good catch! It's a conspiracy against poochies!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

11. Really? You're gonna grammer police a dog?

What hope do us mere public school mortals have?

[sulphurdunn]

13. Dogs cannot be exceptions

to the rules of spelling and grammar. One must maintain standards or the next time the dog may substitute "loose" for "lose" and nobody wants that.

[tclambert]

17. My dog is much worse. I asked him, "What's on top of a house?" He said, "Bark."

"No! What covers a tree?"
He said, "Woof."
"No! What's a wild dog called?"
"Arf."
"No! What's that organization of old people?"
"Roof."
"No! What's the longest side of a right triangle called?"
"Hypotenuse."
"One out of five! You don't get a treat for one out of five. Stupid dog."

[rhett o rick]

19. very cool. nm

[lunatica]

3. I love the hearts!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. K&R! Clever doggie and important message!

[OnyxCollie]

16. Whoozagoodoggie? Whoozagoodoggie?

Oooooh, rub that belly!

[freshwest]

20. The voice of reason. Woof!

[TahitiNut]

27. In Dogs I Trust

[piratefish08]

28. dogs are horrible spellers. it's embarrassing.

[Remmah2]

30. Don't let cats fool you.

I caught mine using spell check.

[piratefish08]

32. they're crafty.

[ellie]

31. Awwww! He's nice!

[smirkymonkey]

36. Who care's if he can spell? He's a very handsome, intelligent, sweet little

puppy activist!

[sarge43]

37. Good dog. n/t
