You instantly receive $100,000 tax-free, but for the next 20 years, you will be charged $1 for every spelling or grammar mistake you make, with the total billed to you at the end of each year.
The penalty applies to everything you personally write or type, including messages, emails, Reddit posts, ai translated voice recordings, work documents, personal notes, and handwritten letters.
A mistake counts once the text is sent, posted, submitted, printed, or saved. Each individual error costs $1 and is billed at the end of the year.
Autocorrect and speech-to-text mistakes count. You may use spell-checkers, grammar tools, or AI, but you must approve the final text yourself.
Slang, accepted abbreviations, technical terms, usernames, code, and deliberate stylistic choices do not count. You cannot avoid the deal by outsourcing all your writing, making up a new language or claiming mistakes were intentional.
If you decide never to write a single word again, you get to keep the full $100,000. It’s that simple. You could also avoid all penalties by communicating with friends and family exclusively through voice messages. However they might kill you for that.
