...There is no P in hamster."

He's obviously never owned one.................

[babble-on]

My dad used to always say of unpronounced letters, “It’s silent, like the “p” in swimming.”

[mjp]

The young woman kept saying, "I don't know why you corrected that because I spell it with the P in it." The boss said (calmly), "But that's not how the word is spelled. There is no P in hamster."

maybe she was confused and thinking of the word hamper

[bigbob]

Good thing the boss isn’t male or he’d be in HR explaining why he sexually harassed this girl and fighting to keep his job.

[Eurotwit]

What is happening?

Call Alex Jones. They must be putting crazy juice in the drinking water...

Back about 1980, I did a whole long report on the history and geography of New Hamster. I was about 10 at the time.

I grew up in the west. I knew that New England was mostly full of varmints.

this is the dum

ster fire that is our education system creative participation trophies for everyone who didn't get the gold stars we aren't giving anymore

[Responsibility2nd]

This chick is a looser.

(What? That’s the way it’s spelled at Free Republic!)

[FewsOrange]

A hampster is a hamper made out of hamsters

or alternatively a hamper full of hamsters.

The boss should have tossed the work product in the Dumpster. That’s “Dumpster”, with a ‘p’ (not “Dumster”!).

[hal ogen]

The “writer” is a pathetic emotional cripple. Weak doesn’t begin to describe this loser. Her enabling mother is a piece of work. The young woman will likely jump off a bridge in the not so far future. Society will benefit from that.

[Responsibility2nd]

Exactly. This chick’s writing abilities belong in a dumster.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

You want to take the ‘P’ out before you cook them.

[Alas Babylon!]

That’s spelled NEW HAMPSTER.

The capital is Cong Curd.

Young woman: "But you don't know that! I learned to spell it with a P in it so that's how I spell it."

Sounds like another budding career, headed right for the dumster.

[eddie willers]

Bravo!

[Tell It Right]

And the moral of the story is never edit a young millennial during her eriod (I left out the “p”). :)

[SauronOfMordor]

Any bets on whether the reason this woman was never corrected prior to this point, was because people didn’t want to risk being called racist?

[Red Badger]

I 👀 what YOU did there!......... 😃
