ARW presented the following explanation :

Somebody cannot spell..

The verb meaning to sign up or to register is spelled enroll in the U.S. Enrol, with one l, is the preferred spelling outside North America. The more American spelling is now preferred in Canadian news publications, but enrol was traditionally more common and still appears in many contexts.

I think he's referring to "ENROLL" - which is how I think I'd probably spell it, because it means "add someone to the attendance roll (list)".

That's the only word with a double L. I can't see any words that look mis-spelled, and I've gone through it a couple of times.

If you look at the bottom line it's clearly a message about how bad things used to be.

A spikey tongue will suffice.

That's the bible belt for you - everything in its place and a place for every woman.

Well they wanted to be allowed to work, and now they can. If course they'll still have to look after the babies - well men aren't going to, are they? And look after their men folk. (That's one in the eye for the bra-burners!)

Kinder, Küche, Kirche...

I take it the middle one is kitchen?

I was wasting my time at the school. I changed an IT classroom into an inclusion room because "they have a need for a second inclusion room".

If I was a teacher I would punch a gob s**te student in the face and make it carry on with it's studies.

WTF is an "inclusion room" ??

Sounds like a touch-feely version of the naughty step ...

That's one way to teach them how to use an apostrophe.
