"Real germ" - The MLS Misspelling Plague

You can say toe-may-to, and I can say toe-mah-toe, but we both need to spell it properly unless we want to come off like morons, right? Well, you decide. The MLS apparently has come out with a new dictionary I didn’t know about: The MLS Garble Edition.

Read it and weep:

Now Trending…

"Real germ” (Uh, pet name for your ex?)

“Retaining wall shited” (You would, too, if you were hanging onto a California hillside during a 6.7 shaker.)

“Recently samblasted” (A description of my home after my Uncle Sam eats cabbage.)

“Won bedroom” (What one is left with after a Hollywood divorce.)

“Dog seltzer” (A popular beverage for dogs with hang-overs.)

You Say Tomato, I say…

“Minor carpeting” (Too young for shag?)

“Miner work needed” (The helmet with the light and the canary were a dead giveaway.)

“Pocked listing” (I hear Proactive is very effective for that.)

“New constriction” (Have you tried a Fleet enema?)

‘Roamin shades” (Is that like roamin’ black-outs when the electric company jacks us around?)

Thanks to Patty DaSilva and Jane Peters for their hilarious contributions this week. That’s it, friends. I need to rest my shattered psyche now. Remember – Spell and Sell!
