Ali Blakey: Influencer’s Misspelling Fail

An Australian influencer has suffered a major blunder when sharing a positive message for her fellow social media friends.

Ali Blakey, 27, gave a shoutout to her influencer pals in a heartfelt post on her Instagram Story this week but awkwardly misspelled the profession.

‘I just wanna say to all of my influenza friends or friends in this industry, I SEE UUUU and I’m so proud of you!!’ the Sydney-based creator wrote alongside a selfie.

‘It’s just so beyond amazing seeing everyone smashing [their] goals and milestones.’

The term ‘influenza’, when referring to influencers, is often used in a derogatory and antagonising manner by trolls or haters.

Ali most likely used the spelling on purpose as a joke, but influencer watchdog account Influencer Updates AU found the fail in good humour.

‘I found it funny @aliblakey posted this nice message for her influencer friends but spelt it influenza!’ they wrote.

Several influencers have been roasted in the past over their glaring spelling and grammar mistakes they’ve shared on social media in front of thousands of followers.

Another Instagram account, Celeb Spellcheck, used to expose celebrities and models’ most unfortunate typos – and some of them really are spectacular.

One of the most prolific bad spellers is Skye Wheatley, a former Big Brother star from Australia.

When the influencer welcomed her first child Forest back in x, she captioned the post: ‘Didn’t expect you to be this hundsum’, misspelling the word ‘handsome’.

She also used the hashtag ‘#babyblues’ in reference to Forest’s blue pajamas, but the term also refers to postnatal depression.

Furthermore, swimsuit model Indy Clinton was caught out with a misspelled slogan scrawled on the side of her sneakers.

She had written, ‘Better then “Off White”‘, when she presumably meant to write, ‘Better than “Off White”‘.

Finally, fitness blogger Ashy Bines also fell under the Celeb Spellcheck spotlight when she misspelled the word ‘vitamins’ as ‘vitemans’.
