Alumni Won't Be Happy Coming Home To This

It's so sad to keep getting these images from college campuses. Thanks again to Kristilyn again for this one.
Perhaps we should go with the idea that the local businesses aren't run by students or graduates of the university. Sigh.

If You Can Spell This, THEN You Are Smarter THAN Him!

Saw this today on the Book of Face:

Free Flipping E-Course. Than Merrill breaks down 27 proven strategies he currently uses for flipping homes in today's market!

Nothing I look forward to more THAN taking a course from someone who doesn't speak the language. I'm guessing that he didn't spend more THAN a few seconds writing his ad, thinking that it doesn't matter whether or not it's correct, as he probably stands to make millions off of the suckers intelligent people who sign up to learn all of his most secret tricks to become millionaires themselves. THEN he'll be the one laughing all the way to the bank.

We Need A 12 Step Program

Hmmmm. Mr. Keith J. Pierce - I suppose it's a good thing you decided to become an auctioneer and not an editor or an English teacher. Would that be the silver lining to this?

Do we need a country-wide 12 step program for overuse of apostrophes? Could we lump in excessive quotation marks as well?

And when did the word website become two?

Capsizing Islands?

Forget for a moment that this man - this State Representative, mind you - is having trouble forming a complete sentence. Forget that he appears to be having trouble with the English language. Forget that he's making less sense than your average six year old child.

If you can.

How the Admiral kept a straight face through that is beyond me.

I have to believe that the video is actually an internet experiment to see how quickly a video can go viral. Or a Saturday Night Live Sketch (in which case it's hysterically funny!)

If it is real - God help us all if we keep electing morons like Representative Hank Johnson (GA).

On My Way To The Aquaitc Center

Do they have spell checkers on sign-making machines? No? Well, they might want to think about adding that feature. This spelling (the word is supposed to be aquatic - just in case you're having trouble figuring it out) was on several new city signs installed a while back to help visitors find their way around town. Except I don't think anyone will be looking for an Aquaitc Center. They could end up even more confused than when they started out. Maybe this could be turned into a positive thing - "Visit us - we have an Aquaitc Center - do you? Hah - didn't think so!"

How do you get it so wrong?

On each and every sign?

With nobody noticing?

Until they are all installed?

Who's in charge here, anyway?!

If It Ain't Broke - Add An 'N'!

This sad note was discovered on a chair in a University classroom. Obviously the chair was not, at some prior point in time, loaded with cash. (Tell me you weren't thinking that!)  It does look like someone tried to correct the note by adding an 'n' to the word 'broke'. Thank goodness for that!

Thanks to Kristilyn for her vigilant campus detective work!

R U Goin 2 The Banc?

Spotted on the website for Bank of America. This is the problem with letting young texting fools run a website. In their world, if a word can be shortened, it is. And that (to them, at least), is the only way to spell. "What do you mean 'bank' has a 'k' at the end? It's not spelled 'banck'!"
