They're Their There Its It's Alright All Right


I no know your you're not won one of the billions who's whose grammar was destroyed by Facebook's black whole hole of misspelling to too.


This 25 word rant was brought to you by Saturday Centus.

By the way, the winner of the CHICKtionary book and mug is none other than Brian Miller. I wish I could see his face when he takes a gander at the mug. Brian, I double-dirty dog dare you to use it at work.

25 thinkers thunk a thought:

You have hit on my #1 pet peeve!I recently received a wedding invitation and the word "would" was spelled "wood."

Dawn said...

makes me nuts when some word processing tries to "help" me and changes my spelling incorrectly...on the other hand, I love it when it changes my spelling correctly. Can't live with it, can't live without it.

Spell check always makes me look like a fool. That's why I proof read and I still tend to spell things wrong. Ha!
By the way...Facebook.com charged my credit card $1.01 six times. Can't figure out how they got my CC number.~Ames

Hilarious! Thanks for giving me a much needed chuckle! and oh, Congrats to Brian!

Anna said...

So clever Cheryl!
Great take on what I thought was a difficult prompt.
I never used to do this, but I have found the wrong usage of such everyday words as 'their/there', and 'too/two/to'. In MY OWN texts! So embarrassing!
Best wishes,
Anna

Very clever! Enjoyed my visit!

Lisa said...

Between facebook, texting and damn auto word selection on phones, it's a wonder anyone knows how to put together a correct sentence! Can't wait until my class begins again in January. It's always such a culture shock to be in my class. :-)

I wish I could've seen Brian's face as he opens up the Chicktionary and sees the HOT PINK cover.

It's such a funny, funny book: I've been carrying it around in my purse...the size is perfect for pulling out in little places here and there, while you wait.

Fun giveaway....
