grammar idiots E-mail
Sunday, 26 April 2009 19:22

I've made a new badge for anyone to use.  Please feel free to take it and use it.  Help keep the bad grammar out of your comment box or you greengrocer's window: 

apostrophes for idiot's  

I will be shortly making other badges to cover the "they're / there / their" dumbasses and the "your / you're" morons.  

There will be a disclaimer on the back of each to unoffend dyslexics.

Can't agree with you more, It's the Their, There and They're that gets me, still see it too often in E-mails from management who should know better. Well, maybe not.

ihop, here's what you do:

paste this piece of html into your page:


let me know if you can't get it to work. as it's an animated gif, you'll only be able to see it working when it's opened in browser.

oh, hello jim smilies/smiley.gif
seems this comment thing doesn't allow html (i probably told it not to) so copy this, but take out all the spaces except the one between img and src:

< img src= " http : // www.lucypepper.com / pt / images / apostrophe . gif " >

Oh, God BLESS you. God bless you and everything about you. I hate the incorrect possessive so much my face hurts when I see one. You've done us all a service.

This is one of the single most useful things that I have ever seen on the internet. Would you consider making one for incorrect use of " to indicate emphasis and one for people who say "an historical"?

i try not to judge people based on their lack of grammar sense, but what gets me the most is It's/Its, even in books, magazines etc.
