I love you all. I appreciate every submission (and want more! MORE!). But sometimes I get submissions I choose not to use, because I don’t like them. It’s my blog. Sometimes I feel like the mistake was so obviously made by someone struggling with English that I don’t find it amusing… I’ve made hideous errors [...]

We know not whom to snub!
I’ll let Reporter #1 tell this story: I found this postcard in the ladies’ room of the local outlet mall this weekend. I wish they’d managed to indicate what STORE it was for so that I could boycott them on account of their complete lack of a grasp of English grammar. (I’ve compressed the image [...]

Fresh new look! Same old spelling and punctuation errors! Wahoo! Also, I intend to post more pictures of my pets here this year, because ZOMG Google Analytics. COMMENTS WOULD HELP TOO I’M JUST SAYING. So, welcome back, welcome to 2012, keep your eyes peeled and your cameras handy, and let’s get ready to red pen!!

Colleen’s excited to submit a non-English oopsie. But honestly, this is such a common expression in English I’m not sure about giving this one a foreign language pass. Also, now I want whatever it is that’s green and Thai.
