In today’s round-up, we’re shining a light on celebrities who seem to consider themselves exempt not just from certain societal norms, but also from the conventional rules of English spelling and grammar!
Kicking things off is the chart-topping songstress, Ariana Grande, who recently took to her social media to promote her upcoming album. Unfortunately, she misspelled “separation” as “seperation.” It appears that having millions of followers can sometimes make one overlook the essentials of proofreading.
Then there’s Kanye West, notorious for his sweeping social media declarations. In one of his recent posts, he championed the value of “indipendent” thinking. It looks like he may have been aiming for “independent,” unless, of course, he’s pioneering a new expression altogether!
Not to be overlooked, Jennifer Lopez also made a slight slip in her latest heartfelt note to her followers, emphasizing the necessity of “selfcare.” A quick tip, J.Lo – it’s “self-care.” Despite her superstar status and packed schedule, surely a hyphen isn’t too much to manage?
While we’re not here to enforce grammatical law and order, it’s hard not to hold these high-profile figures to a standard. These slips make us wonder, if they fumble on the basics, can we really rely on them to deliver quality content for our screens and speakers?
So, the real question remains: what exactly sets these celebrities apart from the rest of us? It might just be their curious reluctance to use a spell-checker.
