The coronavirus pandemic is pretty much the only thing anyone is talking about right now, with the unprecedented outbreak having an effect on pretty much every single person on the planet.
Even those who have been lucky enough not to catch the virus are still being affected by its spread, as governments and authorities around the globe are choosing to shut down businesses and enforce quarantines of the general population.
Just in case you missed it, that word again is ‘quarantine’. Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E. Not ‘corn teen’, as some rather silly people have been referring to it over on Twitter.
Yes, if you head to Twitter and type in ‘corn teen’, you’ll get a lot of results of people making this really bad spelling mistake, and since we could all use a little levity right now, we decided to bring together 40 of our favorite funny examples of ‘corn teen’ to share with you.
1) It’s Not Just You
We’re really sick of ‘corn teen’ too, especially when people keep making the same spelling mistake all over social media.
2) Bored, Huh?
Well, here’s an idea for anyone who is bored and struggling to spell ‘quarantine’: maybe open a book.
3) Spell Check Is Your Friend
Someone actually typed this up, printed it out, and stuck it on a window without noticing what they’d done. And they made it all the way to the level of ‘management’ of some kind of business with that standard of spelling! Anything is possible, kids.
4) Corn And Teen?
It’s ‘corn and teen’ this time, which sounds like the worst superhero duo of all time.
5) We Feel You
On a serious note, many people are sick of quarantine, just like this girl. But it’s absolutely vital for the protection and safety of others that we follow the medical advice and official instructions.
6) Nice Pics, Shame About The Spelling
These drawings are terrific, but the ‘corn teen’ in the tweet shows that some people can be amazing artists and awful spellers all at the same time.
7) Staying Positive!
We have to admire this Twitter user’s positivity. Many people are feeling down right now, but this guy still appreciates the little things. We can learn something from him. Just not his spelling.
8) Good For You
Xbox is great and all, but if you’re spelling ‘corn teen’ like that, maybe you should spend a little less time gaming and a little more time doing some homework.
9) Pick Up A Dictionary
Minecraft and other video games are a fun way to pass the time when you’re bored in quarantine, but maybe this guy should consider doing a little homework instead.
10) Good Plan!
Hey, this is a great idea! While other people are spending all their newfound free time watching Netflix or playing games, this girl decided to do all of her assignments. Apparently, none of those assignments are about spelling.
11) What?
Okay, let’s just ignore the ‘corn teen’ thing for a minute. Why is this guy so obsessed with curtain rods!? Is that the only thing he could think of doing while on lockdown?
12) Not Yet
Will cornteen ever end?! Maybe if the government starts sending out dictionaries to all these Twitter users, we might finally see the back of cornteen.
13) Corn Of Teen
‘Corn of teen’ is our new favorite spelling mistake. The ‘corn’ and ‘teen’ parts make a little sense when you listen to how ‘quarantine’ sounds, but where do these people get the ‘of’ from!?
14) That Explains A Lot
Maybe it’s time to put down the bottle and pick up the dictionary.
15) Hoo-Boy
There’s a lot going on in this tweet. ‘Sevumteen’, ‘cornteen’, and ‘tik tak’ all in the same message. It’s too much for our spelling-loving minds to handle!
16) That’s Funny
Your awful spelling has a pretty similar effect on us.
17) It’s Going Okay, Thanks
Sure could use some steak to go along with all this corn, though.
18) Looking Good
Working out and staying in shape is super important during the quarantine, but don’t forget that your brain needs regular workouts too if you want to avoid making dumb mistakes like ‘corn teen’.
19) Why?
One of the only advantages of quarantine is that you don’t really need to spend too much time worrying about how you look, since you don’t get to see anyone! So why are people freaking out about their eyebrows and hairstyles?
20) Good Point
We have to laugh at the double spelling mistake in this post, but the girl writing it makes a good point. You never know how people are feeling on the inside, so the best thing to do is be kind to your friends.
21) Cute Cat
Maybe the cat is plotting to kill you. Or maybe she’s just sick of seeing your awful spelling in those tweets!
22) Time To Stop Drinking
Corn teen in the liquor store? Well, we hope that teen isn’t trying to use a fake ID to buy some booze!
23) Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E
Spelling really isn’t that important, especially at a time like this, but come on people, make a little effort!
24) We’re Tired Too
Many people are tired of quarantine, but sitting around complaining isn’t going to solve anything. Maybe people like this should take some online spelling classes to pass the time?
25) The Art Of Language
It’s nice that this girl wanted to say something so lovely about her language arts teacher, but then she went and destroyed the whole concept of ‘language arts’ with such an awful spelling error.
26) Thanks For The Update
And you should probably be back in school, buddy.
27) Maybe That’ll Work
It’s probably not too much of a stretch to assume that people who think ‘quarantine’ is spelled ‘corn teen’ also think the virus will go away if we just yell at it more. Get on out of here you no good virus!
28) Google Is Your Friend
Google is right there people. All you have to do is hit a few keys and get the right spelling of the word so you don’t make yourself look silly. Is it really that hard?
29) She’s Got A Point
Day 10 of Corn Teen: Maybe it’s time to buy myself a dictionary.
30) How About The Last Time You Read A Dictionary?
Make up and hair really don’t matter right now, so instead of snapping selfies, maybe do a little reading?
31) What Flavor Soup Is That?
Is it corn soup? Or maybe even a little corn chowder? All these spelling mistakes made us hungry.
32) You Can Do It
Nobody wants to corn teen, and nobody wants to quarantine either, but we all have to do our part and follow the rules to save as many lives as possible.
33) Double Whammy
Ouch! This tweet is a double whammy of dastardly spelling! First we have the ‘cornteen’, but then we also have that classic spelling mistake ‘for granite’ instead of ‘for granted’. There’s way too much corn and granite in this person’s life. It’s not healthy.
34) How Dare They!
It sounds like two people named Corn and Teen are holding this poor woman hostage, feeding her on nothing but apple sauce! Won’t someone call the cops?!
35) Time To Quit?
One of the best ways to look at quarantine is to see it as an opportunity to do something you might not normally do. Maybe this person should consider quitting smoking, for example, or at least read a book and learn a few new words.
36) For Sure
It does indeed suck. Nobody wants to be corn of teen!
37) We Can Relate
After reading through so many bad spelling mistakes, we’re all a little sick of ‘corn teen’ too.
38) What 12 Thoughts?
Corn teen apparently gives this girl 12 lonely thoughts. We’re pretty curious to know what they are!
39) Sounds Painful
A self-cornteen sounds like a pretty painful procedure. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that!
40) Us Too
We’re all sick and tired of it now. If one good thing comes out of all this, let’s hope people finally learn how to spell quarantine.
We hope these silly spelling mistakes put a smile on your face. Really, spelling isn’t all that important, especially during a crisis like this, but with so many people feeling down, lonely, and trapped indoors, every little bit of laughter you can find helps to make life feel a little less scary and a little more fun. So be sure to share the list around with your friends and family and brighten up their day!
