+    The war against the Nation of Grammar Nazis is going badly. They have developed a new weapon that is haveing devestating effects on the population of Facebookia. This is a bomb that can only be shot down through spelling the word on the bomb correctly. Needless to say, the Grammar Nazis are winning.

+    You have been recruited to fight against this final assault on the free speaking Facebookian nation. With latest in l337 LZeR technology at your fingertips you are supposed to destroy the bombs before the free-speaking, language butchering people of Facebookia are destroyed forever.
