This is my favorite forum thread so far! Also, when people do not use the correct form of "it's" or when they put 's on the end of everything. The other day I saw a sign which read "please put the chair's on the table's".
And no, Gary there isn't enough time to stop laughing. But that't the beauty of it: laughter keeps you young and healthy. Why stop?
i got into an argument with some kid while playing online poker.. he tore into me with a string of insults.. which included calling me an "outkast from society".. as i was typing back: "don't learn to spell from rap artists" he says: "what? assumptions to big a word for ya?" i nearly wet myself..

i have a buddy who is a college professor- she says it's un-stinkin' believable what's happening to grammar and spelling because of the internet. or maybe we could blame prince? personally, i believe technology is just making us all lazy. i don't even use caps anymore unless it's a business letter or something. i blame e.e. cummings for that though.
I think its to bad that there spelling and grammar is on the decline.
Sign seen outside my local Jr. High School: "Welcome Grandparent's to are breakfast!"

Funny you should say that. He actually was here to sign the so called "No Child Left Behind" education bill in January of 2002. Talk about a huge deal for our fairly small city.

When I was in high school, our senior t-shirts, which were put out by the senior class government and approved by faculty members, said "Ha ha, I'm a senior and your not." Boy, did I ever want to wear that one.

Little did you realize you were about to be cast out of the regimented safety and security of high school into the chaos of the real world ....
