Vandal Caught Due to Consistent Misspelling

A man in Vermont is accused of vandalizing his ex-girlfriend's car. He would have gotten away with carving the word "slut" into her car, except that he misspelled it as "sult". The woman identified him as the likely perpetrator, so the police called the man into their station to question him:

Police called Hall into the station and issued him a citation. Hall denied any involvement with the vandalism, but when asked to write the sentence “You are a slut,” on a piece of paper, Hall wrote “You are a sult,” instead. The misspelling matched that of the vandalism.

Stay in school, kids, and pay attention in English class. It pays off in the long run.
