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