In Defense of Grammar

[daus42]

That crazy english language....

....... how can foreign countries grasp it if we can't do it ourselves.



In a Tokyo Hotel:

Is forbidden to steal hotel towels please.
If you are not a person to do such thing
is please not to read notis.


In a Bucharest hotel lobby:

The lift is being fixed for the next day.
During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.


In a hotel in Athens:

Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of 9 and 11 A.M. daily.


On the menu of a Swiss restaurant:

Our wines leave you nothing to hope for.


On the menu of a Polish hotel:

Salad a firm’s own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people’s fashion.


Outside a Hong Kong tailor shop:

Ladies have fits upstairs.


In an advertisement by a Hong Kong dentist:

Teeth extracted by the latest Methodists.


In a Swiss mountain inn:

Special today — no ice cream.


In a Copenhagen airline ticket office:

We take your bags and send them in all directions.

Maybe this is sexually related and, if so, it could be accurate.

This is a great thread. Right now everything I can recall that bugs me is included. I will keep my eye open for additions.

Nuts

This one drives me nuts and it is disturbingly common:

Than vs. Then

I would rather have an apple than an orange.

A horse is bigger than an ant.


OK - that is off my chest now.

I remember this one! Thanks for posting! Hope all is well. Good to see you.

An oldie but a goodie! All is well. Thanks

One could also extrapolate that Morans said, "Get a brain!" as in

Get a brain!

-Morans

Ideally, it should've read:

Get a brain, morons!

But wouldn't it be better if the collective morons got more than a single brain?
As in -

"Get brains, morons "

Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

grammar in lyrics

My two favorite songs with errors in grammar are "Lay Lady Lay" and "Lay Down Sally"

Putting poetic license aside they should be "Lie lady lie, lie across my big brass bed....." and "Lie down Sally". Just try singing that!!!!

Then two classics wouldn't be the same would they?

I am on a porn site, not a grammar site.

Unless it is something like the thread at hand, I could honestly care less.

If you have issues with spelling get Mozilla Firefox. It has a spell checker built in.
(it doesn't have a grammer (lol) check though...)

Can't help it, so here goes :

if you could care less the implication of the words you chose is that you care.

I don't know if it's been said but using waste instead of waist is an instant buzzkill, hahah.

Some people just can not spell, but are highly intelligent. It is wild to read text from my GF who is a college grad and highly accomplished, but misspells everything. It's actually really cute to me.

I forgot one of my favorites. This one is more spoken than typed, but I've seen it typed as well.

I've decided I'm not going to tell you after all.

Why?

Because by now, it's a mute point.
