Mocking poor grammar, spelling, and word misuse for our own amusement

I didn’t know that I was screwed into a single dollar, let alone multiples.

Well, if it ever happens, you know who to call.

Thread to entertain ourselves by mocking other people’s poor grammar…and speeling…

The team member in charge of commas must have been spacing out .

I like to clean my upholtery with lots of spaces too.

So I read the title and assume the object of the mockery is ourselves, since it’s lacking a comma. Is the title meant to be meta?

Yes…that thread title needs a little help…in the meantime, I’m going to throw the cow over the fence some hay.

edit: fiksed…I hope.

There’s a FB Group called “Lynchburg Bad Drivers”. The stupidity is so high on every side (driver, poster, reply-ers - especially the people who condone said behaviors)

Isn’t ‘you’re’ just a contraction of ‘you are’? So, though awkward sounding, isn’t 'you are what you eat" the same thing?

Side note:

The other day, my wife asked me if I was going to the store. i said: “I’m.”

“You’re what?”

“I’m going to the the store. That’s what I said.”

With all the lazy shortcuts people take with the language, why can’t ‘I’m’ take the place of ‘I am’ in all instances?

From a communication requesting assistance:

[I]n order for it to be usable in automated processes (as an imported function) I need to deal with the … authentication in a secure manor. Right now, the user has to type in their credentials.

Should I suggest to get more and better security personnel for their house?

Depends on who the villein is in this situation.

Is poor spelling really poor grammar?

“I is going upstairs” is poor grammar.

But I don’t think this is: “I am going upstares.”

I don’t know what you’re talking about…it fits the thread title.

:wink:

What say you about the use of homophones?

The words in the quote are all (technically) spelled correctly . . . so spell-checkers ain’t going to flag it.

But if you have “check grammar,” then the phrase would most likely be flagged.

Could have a new thread for “funny homophones,” often caused by typo’s and automatic audio translation.
