SBR: This had to be the worst phonetic spelling of a character I've ever seen.

I watch the show Sleepy Hollow, and another friend of mine posted on her wall about how good the show was.  Someone she knows commented that she was worried about Ikabob.  Yeah.  Ikabob.  It honestly took me a second to figure out WTH she meant, and then I had a chuckle. 

What's the worst phonetically spelled character name you've ever seen, and barring that, the worst phonetic attempt you've ever read on email/FB/etc.?

I'm friends with a girl that I went to college with - she went on to grad (med?) school at an ivy league school and is an anaesthesiologist.  She is married and is currently expecting her second child.  Her facebook posts are rambling rants about things and people that tick her off that are completely incomprehensible because they lack any kind of punctuation and everything - not just names - is spelled phonetically.  It completely blows my mind. 

If I didn't know better I'd think she was constantly high.

Well, I once knew of an anesthesiologist who smoked pot with his teenage daughter, so there you go.

You should see some of the things that people put on applications.  Well on the other hand, it's probably better that you don't.

I think my favorite was the person who wanted to be a psychiadivist.

I had some awesome ones when I was a recruiter. My favorite was a guy who worked in Costumer Service at Berger King.

I get costumer service all the time.  One of my friends got "I am a cash register" here.

RevJen

I just saw someone who "got layed off."

I'll bet you did.

Ross: Rach, did you proofread these?
Rachel: Uh... yeah, why?
Ross: Uh, nothing, I'm sure they'll be impressed with your excellent compuper skills.
Rachel: Oh my God! Oh, do you think it's on all of them?
Joey: Oh no, I'm sure the Xerox machine caught a few.

Disclaimer:  I did not write this.  I just found it while trying to source resumes.

"like the fucking title says I need a fucking job im tired of going to interviews and people saying oh ill call you that could only mean one thing fuck off that's what it always means for the longest time I did not have a high school diploma everyone said more better things will come if you have one so I got one but yet everyone still calls me worthless I never had anyone to teach me how to do anything I never had a family according to my family im a fat worthless piece of shit I just let everyone walk on me because I just don't give a flying fuck about myself anymore I have tried so hard at every job I have ever had but I am always getting replaced by someone better or someone has family that needs a job so they fire me to hire them I want to just give up I am 23 been living on the street in the woods for two years im done when do I get a chance when can I have a normal life a job a house and a nice vehicle at this point I feel like that will never happen I have tried to kill myself several times I have been put in the 4th floor of the hospital by the cops because I tried to get the cops to kill me never had a criminal background though never been arrested like a lot of these felons with jobs don't do drugs or drink I guess you just have to know someone in this town to have a job and keep a job I tell people all the time when they ask how are you?

I must say though, in general, his grammar and spelling aren't bad. He just needs to use some punctuation and capital letters.

Here's a winner from my H's cousin. H can't figure out how they are related. Hhaha
