What was your first thought when you seen it?
O.k., I'll try to be polite here. My first second thought was that you need a refresher course in grammar.

This comes from one of the communities that I'm on.
Oh dear.
-----
during the course of this show iv noticed something and the tihing i noticed is that every white and black realationship ends horribly
Simone and issac (there was cheating involved and the end result of that rewalition ship was the death of simone)
Niki and D.l (Niki when crazy again D.L went to save her end result death)
Monica and Micah and NIki ( Becuase of Micha wanting his book bag so bad Monica tries to recive it she gets cuaght Niki goes to save Monica end result Death)
The world is messed up but not verything has to have the worst thing comming for them and why are the black people of this show subject to make a point that if white ppl and black people 2gether have to have bad luck.
It's not how thigs go

So, one of my friends is a 4th year (this is important) university student, and she sometimes gets me to look through her papers to check for errors. No matter how many times I've told her to give her papers a quick read through before she sends them to me, she still sends me crappy papers. Here's the latest gem from her - only one page since it makes my head hurt.
The principle will also bring in the students parents to speak with them
depends on the parent willingness
parent are good about this but there are a certain percentage who will ignore the problem.
however its program that has to be well planed in to the schedule
with larger class’s size and the program its self being so large in content it’s difficult to mange
that there is drug dealer who is a leader of the drug cartel
The school has a police lesion that comes and talks to the children
Wow, grade two was not that difficult.

This is from Twitter, a goldmine of "offul" grammar and spelling.
somehow watching britney spears videos on youtube and feeling offully sorry for myself.

I was at a hockey arena and saw a piece of paper on an office window that read, "ATTENTION COACH'S". Urrgh...also, there was a typo at the end of the letter: "Thank you for you cooperation".
I mean, come on--how long does it take to quickly read over the letter and correct any mistakes before you print it and tape it up on the window?
Well, at least it wasn't laminated...:-|.

Less grammar, more spelling, but considering that this was posted as a reply to a blog called "You Know You're a Writer If...", it really burned my brain.
You that you’re a writer if youre constintley getting angry at a charecter in your book who just happens to get in the way of a love story
What.

This is a picture of a Father's Day cake that one of my friends found at a grocery... it was perfectly good, but on sale because nobody bought it for obvious reasons.
( the cake! )

"The purpose of requesting your ID number is to facilitate analysis of there results."
Grammar fail and wordfail from a very senior manager. Sigh.

So, we all know there are some places that you should just expect to find errors, like Facebook, myspace, etc. Sometimes these posts are from students (I would like to know which school systems produce students who write like this), sometimes not.. FML is quite possibly moving to the top of my list of offenders. Here are just two:
i'd been waiting for friday all week since i wud get to see this really cute guy i liked. It was going well until my best friend with huge boobs starting flirting with him, making him hang out with her. i later had my friend through up on me and i missed the bus to get home, which i got punished for
Today, my family through a big party I was helping my mom clean up I new we had some left over chili and decided I would just finish it off. My mom came in the door from outside and said,” I sure hope your enjoying the dogs dinner". I wasn't eating chili I was eating dog food. FML
I really need to stop reading this site.
Edited to fix my own bit of improper grammar. I need more sleep.

| Please nodes the mistake |
[20 Jun 2009|01:53am] |
I usually ignore mistakes on youtube video descriptions but this one had me puzzling a bit:
"the sound is a bit behind you will nodes that but its youre choise if you want to se it or not anyway subscribe"
It took me a while to realise that 'nodes' is meant to be 'notice'.

From an article listing reasons to break it off with your girlfriend:
"If she made you buy a tiny asshole dog and name it anything with the prefix 'uggles' attached to its name."
I'm considering writing my own article, of reasons to break it off with your boyfriend; "he doesn't know the difference between a prefix and a suffix" would definitely be on the list.
