Revelling in bad grammar
Thanks to “utterdrivel” over on the NOTBBC forums. This is a photo he/she took of the new Revels packet.

Grammar nazi returns
And why not?
Here’s a comment from the beeb message boards:
The only time I have thrown up after drinking too much alcohol through a complete stranger’s letterbox
Now what on Earth is going on with that? But well done for getting a correct apostrophe in amongst the dross.

Tattoooes
Had a patient with tats today.
Not too unusual.
One of his arms had a large list of girls names. Daughters? Not likely. Lovers? Ooh I hope not, minging.
But the best one was on his back.
“Nothing to loose”
Such a shame there wasn’t an extra O in the second word too. That would have been excellent. Come to think of it it would have been better if the patient had been female.
Have fun.

Loose the spelling mistakes please!
Loose or lose?
You decide…
Actually no, you don’t decide. There’s a right way and a wrong way.
“Lose” means to not win or misplace. “Loose” means set free or not together. It’s really not a hard distinction is it?
Anyway I bring this up because I just saw an online advert apparent selling “loose fat now”. The image this conjures up in my mind is frankly disturbing.
Sort it out!

Slash dot grammar
Lovely story here.
Makes you wonder if the journalist knows what “flaunt” actually means. Also makes you wonder whether he/she meant “flout”. Perhaps.
Have fun.

Grammar weirdness or typo’s
You decide.
These are some examples I’ve seen today.
“The trains from london to manchester were a nightmate”
“I saw the tree blewed across the neighbourhood in the storms “
“I am usually a critque of Easyjet”
Marvellous!
Have fun.
