  1. Danke, OberfuhrerSchreibweise!

    Perhaps they make a mug about 4 times the size to allow enough room to cover all the grammatical rules so often violated by those woefully too numerous stupid frigging window licking no-accounts of questionable parentage of whom their willful ignorance is of such a depth that they do not....

    Sorry, I got carried away.

  4. "Its" versus "it's". I've seen people fuck that one up both ways within the same bloody sentence.

  5. I asked my grandson who is now 13 and in middle school if he knew how to conjugate a verb. His eyes kinda glazed over like he'd never heard of such a thing.

    1. When I was 13 my eyes would have glazed over as well. Not because I didn't know what you were talking about, but because by then, I would have been so sick of them in school.

  10. Lord of the Fleas, Matthew, and Roy, I'm with you.
    Let's not even get started on your/you're, or "literally", and my ex-wife used to say "supposably" and "irregardless". If I bothered to think about it for a couple of minutes, I'd undoubtedly come up with many more.

    1. I saw an interview once where a college girl used the word 'literally' something like 5 times in the same conversation.
      And yeah, 'irregardless' drives me up a fucking wall.
      My all time favorite expression to hate is still 'booger hook on the bang switch' though. It brings the user down to a third grade mentality.
