You were warned in elementary school, now it's payback time
Although it's hard to come by, finally there is proof poor English skills matter in the real world. MakeUseOf.com, a great site by the way for new online tools, highlighted FatFingers.com, which helps you find misspelled (are two "s"s in "misspelled"? It looks funny...) items on eBay.
The idea behind this is quite cool. Since the products are listed with spelling mistakes only few people are able to find them. Thus the items often close at considerably lower price or no bids at all. FatFingers helps you find such products through its search engine.
MakeUseOf.com also points out two more similar sites: AuctionBloopers and TypoBuddy. Score one for English teachers everywhere.
