Sometimes the fingers are faster than the brain
Posted by: John McCrarey @ 2:01 am | Filed under: Asst. Misc.    

I’m constantly finding typos, bad punctuation, poor grammar, and other various and sundry errors in my writing.  Some of it is old fashioned laziness, sometimes it’s ignorance, but most often it’s a case of not typing what I’m thinking.  Thanks in advance for your indulgence.

Anyway, I came across the poster below and had to laugh because although I am well aware of the appropriate use of those words, I’m frequently dismayed that I’ll type “your” instead of “you’re” or “there” instead of “their”.   Which makes me appear dumber than a smart phone.  Which I suppose I am.

And yes, when I saw this I thought of Kevin Kim.

  1. Did you catch the punctuation error in

    Were = Past fucking tense of “are”.

    ?

    Nothing is so sad as a grammar Nazi tripping over his own dick. (I’m guilty of this, too, alas.)

  2. No, I overlooked it. That’s funny as hell. What were they thinking? They are idiots!

  3. It must have been a Hispanic.
    In Spanish it is proper punctuation to leave it outside.

    Actually the English way of leaving the period inside makes no fucking sense.
