Here’s one for the grammar Nazis out there, a clear cut case of someone’s inability to spell costing them dearly.

A British woman and her daughter have been jailed for 15 years and three years respectively after plotting the death of 70-year-old Douglas Patrick. Jacqueline twice poisoned her husband’s cherry Lambrini with antifreeze, the second attempt on Christmas Day of 2013 proving successful. Over to NY Post:

“Perhaps most shocking of all was the note she gave to the London Ambulance Service purporting to be from her husband, stating that he did not wish to be resuscitated,” Detective Inspector Tracey Miller, of London’s Metropolitan Police, said in a statement.

The forged note showed a misspelling of the word dignity as “dignaty.” When police later asked her to write the word, Jacqueline Patrick made the same mistake.

The irony of misspelling ‘dignity’ when murdering her husband should be apparent for all to see. Suspicions were initially aroused when Jacqueline was reluctant to tell hospital staff trying to save her husband’s life that she had ingested antifreeze, causing staff to phone the police:

Mother and daughter’s mobile phones were seized and revealed a series of incriminating exchanges, including “I got the stuff I will give him some later delete txt tell no one ok,” and “He feels sick again I gave him more delete this.”
