OK, I admit it. Im a PS snob. The folks that mess with it and make PS abominations - well, it's just not natural and I hope their computer is smote forthwith.

But this - this was way funny.

This commentary almost made me snort coffee through my nose. Hilarious.

I found out "alot" is actually "a lot" approximately twenty-five years ago, but given my age that means I was well into adulthood and well past any formal educational setting, so for those of you who are just now finding out, I feel your pain.

All it's missing is animation. I always ask them allot or a lot?

That alot is incredibly talented (love it competing against Michael Phelps) and I love it, alot! ;-)

Thank you for sharing this blog. Now, instead of picturing fingernails on a blackboard as I'm reading poorly spelled, poorly constructed comments on FB, I can picture an eagle, flapping in the tree and trying to type with his talons instead and cut the poster some slack. Whew......

Great blog!

The story about the fish made my sides hurt. Good reading there to help bring a smile to a Monday.
Thanks.

Thanks for reminding me of this blog, it's a great way to get out of a grumpy mood

Also, I'm guilty of talking about "alot"

Ah.. that made me feel better about my craziness. My son's kindergarten teacher actually had 'alot' on her class website. Made me so sad that I can't afford a better school for my children.

I have actually hidden people from my feed on FB because of their horrible grammar. My biggest pet peeve is actually when people label their photo captions "Sally and I at Seaworld", etc. One guy posts his lunch dates w/ his wife like this "Tammy and I's lunch at McDonalds". HIDE!!!
