30 seconds of googling, and I find zero evidence backing up the claim that today is national misspelling day.

Well, duh!  It's not "national misspelling day"!  It's National Mispeling Day!

That said, proper spelling is important, so here's the basics:

Remind me not to team you up with my wife on a spelling championship.

Clearly not, because there isn't a single misspelling in that - just erroneous word choices.

Very well.

Teacher:  Brian, what's the I before E rule?

Brian:  I before E.... always.

Teacher:  No Brian.  It's I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor or weigh and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May, you'll always be wrong no matter what you say!

Brian:  That's a hard rule.

I like Brian.

There's also the spelling bee.  When the spelling bee day popped up... "Alright, kids, up against the wall. It's time for public humiliation.  Spell a word wrong - sit down in front of your friends."

That's great for little egos.

"Hey, look at me. I'm a moron.  I wasn't even close.  I was using numbers and stuff."

That's why I admired that kid who spelled it wrong on purpose so he could sit down.  He knew he wasn't going to win, so why stand there for three hours?

First round: "Cat, K-A-T, I'm outta here."

Then as he passed you, "Ha! I know there's two 'Ts'."
