Rapper Mac Lethal Takes On Internet Trolls Who Can't Spell

The Huffington Post UK  |  By Posted: Updated: 18/05/2012 10:38

Last December Mac Lethal went viral on YouTube with a video of him rapping a pancake recipe at breakneck speed over the beat of Look At Me Now.

This time the multitalented rapper - who has also worked as a freelstyling breakfast menu at SUBWAY restaurants - is back to take on internet trolls who can't spell to the beat of recent hit single Somebody That I Used To Know.

Specifically, he's come armed with two bright signs to explain the difference between YOUR and YOU’RE - a common error and a subject clearly close to his heart.

And apparently he can do grammar as well as he can cook pancakes - that is, extremely fast.

As he explains the difference ("Look, this one belongs to you / and this one is something that you are, it’s true"), the technical brilliance of the Kansas City rapper is undeniable - even if words like ‘possessions' and 'contraptions’ aren't your usual hip-hop fodder.

WARNING: Contains bad language!

The Khan Academy should have a new section for grammar, and this could be the first video.

Fabulous! Made a lot of great points,something many people have had to deal with on many news forums. I admit, my spelling is the pits, but at least my points are valid and based on facts.

I think who he is singing about can't spell, because they never see the words in type. They only hear it from select media stations that blast the easy to memorize jingles. So the problem is with changing it from an audio signal to a written word.

And I guess no one ever told them what the colorful dashes mean under an incorrectly spelled word(s)

So, the lesson for today is.

When you see a colorful dash under a word you type , you do one of the following.

A- Ignore it

B- Think the software is following you around

C- Delete it

D-Hold cursor over colorful dashed text and choose from the following options. Chances are, there is at least a 50/50 chance you will click the correct text.

Correct answer is "D"

It's people whose brains cannot work as quickly as their fingers..... and when they only type with two, you're talking about some pretty slow individuals.
