Giada Doesn’t Know How To Spell The Name Of Her Husband’s Store
 |
Thanks to Twitter, the public is now clued into the fact that some celebrities clearly failed 2nd grade spelling. Food Network personalities are no exception. With all the focus on her big ol’ boobs and over-enunciation of words, it’s easy to overlook the fact that Giada’s… how can I put this mildly… probably not the most scholarly person out there. While nowhere near as mind-numbingly moronic as Ty-Flo, Giada’s made a few very basic spelling errors on Twitter that have made the editor in me cringe. Just when I was about to tease her about writing the word JEM instead of GEM, I noticed this:
Dear Giada, anthropology is the comparative study of humans. You’re thinking of ANTHROPOLOGIE. You know, the clothing store your husband Todd Thompson’s spent the past several years working for. Sigh.
In the past, Giada’s blamed her silly spelling errors on the fact that English is her 2nd language, but I’m not buying it. The woman’s been in this country for 30+ years, and she has a bachelor’s degree in (you’re gonna love this one) ANTHROPOLOGY from UCLA to boot.
Did I mention she’s probably not the most scholarly person out there? But just look at her boobs!
(Stacy wrote in with this tip, and she added: “With all the gems she wears from Tiffany, she should know how to spell it, and while the spelling of anthropology is correct for that field of study, her husband’s only been working for the store, Anthropologie, for like 15 years. She gets many of her clothes from them!”)

I’d be pissed if my girlfriend misspelled the name of my employer. Like “oh I just saw my boyfriend workin’ the fryer at MkDonalds”
Just kidding, its Wendys.
Just kidding, it’s not.
oh rill-LAY? the only thing that surprises me here is that bobblehead bigboobs motormouth has a bachelor’s degree. in anything, much less antropology.
okay, I’m also a bit surprised that english is her second language. judging by her speech, it sure doesn’t sound like it. over-enunciation and all.
Ditto to what Mikeytwoshoes said. This woman has a degree? I’ve always been annoyed by her extremely basic vocabulary, but could you imagine how Todd must be feeling after reading that?
Todd is probably too busy looking at her boobs to read her Twitter account. Unless he’s an idiot.
Meh. She only over enunciates Italian words. The only accent you hear in her English is pure LA. My honey has a very heavy northern Italian accent. But then he’s only been here 20 years and was an adult, not 7, when he got here to learn aviation English.
My dad moved from Oklahoma to the NW as a teenager and never lost his accent.
In short Jugs, I call BS on the 2nd language shtick.
You are so right! She drives me nuts! Who taught her to speak the way she does? She needs to get over herself and her Italian heritage. She acts like she is the only Italian person on earth! Can they make the Olive Oil seal her strange shaped mouth??
Where I went to school, the only people who majored in anthropology were the ones who failed out of Accounting 101.
Stop talking about me like I’m not here!! ;)
I can see typing quickly, and making a silly typo. Thats one thing but misspelling the name of your husband’s store is unforgiveable. Todds been there for so many years and like Stacy said Giada has so many clothes from there. That means she stares at the label all the time.
You have to check spell cheque.
Try spelling Anthropologie on a BlackBerry, iphone or computer it spell checks to Anthropology. you guys need to get a life!
Maybe the tweet was posted by an uninformed minion of Giada?
Whatever, she won’t be getting so many free clothes from them in the future, ha.
In her defense…she did tweet that English is her 2nd language and that she is aware of her spelling mistakes.
I dunno, Wannabe. French is my second language, and I can spell correctement. lol
Does anyone really believe English is her 2nd language when she grew up here in the States? Cripe. What a dip stick.
*singing* “Jem!/Jem is excitment/oooooooh Jem/Jem is adventure/oooooooooooh Jem/ glamour and glitter fashion and fame/Jem is truly outrageous/truly truly truly outrageous”
Sorry I had a flashback.
Please Giada, you moved to CA when you were 7. The english as 2nd language comment’s ridiculous!
You’re pretty but you’re a ding dong.
ding dong is one of many nicknames for my beagle, p-nutt.
No offense intended to P-Nut Mikey2shoes, love beagles. My granddad raised show beagles.
I’d never defend Bobblehead but since she majored in Anthropology she probably typed that out automatically without thinking. But yeah, dur.
No excuse for JEM.
Agreed Monzi. Her signature auto-pilot behavior is getting her chest lined up for the perfect camera shot.
You need to acknowledge that English has poor phonemic orthography to be completely fair to Giada. A store called Anthropologie is just asking for phonological trouble. The store is the one with the unusual spelling, after all. Maybe she was tired.
1) I did acknowledge her excuse that she can’t spell because “English isn’t her 1st language.”
2) She can’t spell because she’s…. tired? She’s been in the country since she was 5 years old. I’m not buying it.
@Jillian, “She can’t spell because she’s…. tired?”
Jillian you nailed it, tired is no excuse. She can’t spell, period.
People will tend to misspell or say the wrong words when they are tired. Have you never typed ‘and’ when you really meant to type ‘an?’ I was once tired at a job and suggested to a coworker that she ‘call in sex.’
I get it Sam, but the difference is you check it before sending it. She’s Hollywood cool, so it doesn’t matter to her.
Never mind that it is her HUSBAND’S STORE. All the more reason she should be able to get it right…right?
Giada just needs to concentrate on what she’s good at- Smiling while grating cheese and showing her ample bosom.
I would love to see lots of people show up at “Anthropology headquarters” demanding to know why the store name is misspelled, since obviously Miss Giada can do no wrong. Ha ha.
Poor Todd. I hope for his sake he didn’t sign a pre-nup.
And ITA on being sick and tired of these intentional misspellings of brand names, like “Anthropologie.” Yawn. Is it any wonder no one can spell correctly anymore?
It’s not really a mis-spelling, it’s the French spelling. But since she attend Le Cordon Bleu for what? a year? and I’ve seen her in France speaking, oddly enough, French with locals, it still doesn’t wash.
I like how people who defended the guys who wrote that Ina story and their spelling are here bashing Giada for hers. Granted, the spelling of her husband’s store- yeah. Not the greatest. And I’m one of the first people to bash spelling errors. But if you’re going to criticize people’s spelling, do it across the board. Don’t pick and choose who you think should be a better speller.
That being said, everyone who criticized the spelling there- carry on.

awwww….how “surprizing”
Can we really be surprised? This pampered princess is ridiculously self absorbed. (Didn’t she name her daughter after herself?) If it’s not about her it doesn’t matter.
As for that second language excuse…nice try. Learning the language as a child thirty plus years ago hardly makes it ‘new’.
I think someone mentioned this already, but since it’s coming from her phone (it says “From txt”), theres a good possibility she just didn’t look at how it corrected her spelling and just sent it off.
I think it’s hysterical that so many people are making excuses for Giada’s stupidity. That is all.
Giada was in my city and I missed it?!? ;P
The saying “No matter how hot a girl is there’s some guy, somewhere who’s tired of putting up with her sh1t” seems so fitting for Giada.
She couldn’t possibly dumb down food anymore than by doing a segment where she rolls proooo-sshhuuu-tttoooo around asparagus. Are you kidding me?
What’s next – placing a piece of mozzz-aaaa-rrell-aaa on a baguette slice and topping it with a basil leaf? Oh yeah, she did that too. Her secret trick was to rub garlic on t
Your life must be horribly pathetic for you to point out such a simple error. If it wasn’t the stupid smartphone auto-correcting a correctly spelled word, it was still just a simple mistake. Then to go on and say she isn’t the most scholarly? Do the world a huge favor and do not breed. Don’t adopt either.
You’re clearly the one who shouldn’t breed or adopt. With anger issues like those, and a nasty humorless attitude like that, you shouldn’t be allowed within 5 feet of a child.
Maybe she was trying to be clever by using the Jade Giada english/italian thing. Jem/Gem.
Wait..this is Giada, nevermind……she probably thinks she sells a line of spoonerisms at target.
