Category: Vowel Drop Incidents

A Vowel Drop Incident (“VDI”) is hereby defined by the Ministry of Vowels as:

“Any occurrence in which one or more vowels, having previously been present, expected, or reasonably assumed to exist, abruptly abscond from a word, phrase, headline, brochure, infographic, or other public‑facing communication, thereby rendering the text structurally compromised, semantically wobbly, or unintentionally hilarious.”

As a result, the VDIs in question are treated as benign writing errors by the Ministry’s Lighthearted Irregularities Division.
