When a person states their case with horrible spelling and/or grammar, it reminds me of a really fat person telling another the best way to lose weight.

If English isn't your primary language it's forgivable. When it's just lack of effort or ignorance however, it's not.

I'm guilty of it myself at times, unfortunately.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

Are you a "Cupid Stunt"?, taking "Lovely Risks" with posting spelling errors can be problematic on the EVE-O forums. The spelling police will pull you up about it for your own safety Blink

Misspelled words and horrible grammar are the signs of someone with a HUGE imiginative or better yet creative mind.

Last Thanksgiving, my mom decided to play a trick on my sister (The English Teacher). To get her out of the house, she convinced her that we needed more half and half for the coffee.

While my sister was out, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, then put it inside the turkey, packing stuffing all around it. She then put the turkey back in the oven.

When everything was ready, my sister took the turkey out of the oven and began to remove the stuffing. When she felt something, she reached in and pulled out the Cornish hen.

Pretending to be shocked, by mother exclaimed, "Patti, you've cooked a pregnant turkey!"

My sister began to cry and was inconsolable. It took us half an hour to convince her, (the English Teacher) that turkeys lay eggs!

I wonder if they would be forced to communicate in say Russian, how well they would do.lol

OK, I've of late been posting a few jokes in the like and get liked thread to inspire a little of the lighter side. One thing I have discovered, is there aren't any jokes that basically spoof the English Teacher. They seem to have a remarkable impervious nature to this sort of things. I couldn't find jokes about virtually all other professions, doctors, lawyers, math teachers, virtually everyone, but nothing about English Teachers. Go figure

So if your inspired even a little about this nappy little thread. Lets try to brew up with a few lines of text fry the perfect speller types, the perfect English types, the perfect grammar types.

Please keep it positive, and most of all funny,


Holy crap. How can you complain about the lack of spelling when you have such a massive lack of grammar?

I'm going to have a nightmare tonight...

Orthographical errors don't correlate with any type of measurable intelligence or creativity. The usual response to that is that creativity isn't something one can measure. If that's true, then there's also no basis for stating that poor spellers are more likely to be creative.

This person applied for early admission into the College. He passed the math and science sections of the entrance exam, but failed the rest (history, languages, geography, etc.)! This person had to go to a trade school before he retook the exam and was finally admitted to a year later

This person was always a poor speller, with everything they wrote, requiring massive, and repeated edits.

Go ahead I dare you, who was this person?

Einstein? Or some similar super intelligent person I would guess. However, I'd place a fairly large bet that the people on these forums that post with horrible grammar ect, are not geniuses.

Just sayin.

He highlighted 'languages,' and talks about how everything the person wrote required edits, so I'm going to guess a semi-famous writer.

Makkal Hanaya, sorry it was in fact, "Albert Einstein". May Gawd he had terrible English skills. LOL

You know the part that totally astonishes me, is how these professionals, or personality types, simply cannot bring them selves to laugh, or spoof them selves.

Just imagine a celebrity roast, when someone would stand up and say what some here have said, LOL.

Even my son, who is a literary major, and my daughter who actually is a English Teacher, (very proud of both of them)
Expressed to me that they feel people are stupid that can't write correctly.

But when I invite them to attempt what I do professionally, they both look at me like a dear in the headlights. Then quite sincerely offer there most humble apology. (my daughter actually came up with that last joke). When I press the issue further, I simply ask isn't it just important that some one can add, subtract, or reason in the most rudimentary way, and that skill at that be considered of equal value. I get a long hmmmm, and they never answer the question.

Three English Teacher friends died together in a car wreck. They found themselves standing in front of the pearly gates with St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter heaven, they had to tell him what Easter was about.

The first English Teacher said, "Easter is a big holiday where we give thanks, have a big feast and eat turkey."

"Nooooo," said St. Peter. "You don't get in."

The second English Teacher said, "Easter is the holiday that we celebrate Jesus' being born of the virgin and give gifts to each other."

"Nooooo," said St. Peter. "You don't get in, either."

The third English Teacher said, "Well, I know what Easter is all about. Easter is a Christian holiday which coincides with the Jewish Passover. After Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples, He was betrayed by Judas and turned over to the Romans. They crucified Him on a cross. After He died, they buried him in a tomb and put a huge boulder in front of it."

"Very good!" said St. Peter.

The English Teacher continued. "Now, every year, the Jews roll the stone away and Jesus comes out. If He sees his shadow, we have 6 more weeks of basketball."

St. Peter fainted!

Petrus Blackshell, I only have one thing to say to you, "Good Job". No one here could ever beat me up about any of this as much as my children. LOL

But thanks to people like you, I have learned to spell, almost 6 new words. Please keep posting examples, especially of punctuation. Much Thanks

Three English teachers were walking through the forest when they came upon a set of tracks.

The first English teacher said, "Those are deer tracks."
The second English teacher said, "No, those are elk tracks."
The third English teacher said, "You're both wrong, those are moose tracks."
The English teachers were still arguing when the train hit them.

Jokes please!

Skills. Hm, maybe, but the languages share notable roots with others. An proper etymologist could shed further light.

Speaking of West_Germanic_languages, Makkal Hanaya, where did you get the inspiration for your avatar? (take that literally, your avatar is the definition of inspired in my opinion. And others.)

The Dutch Masters? Johannes Vermeer perhaps? It's effervescent and flamboyant yet morbid, the light and shade (Chiaroscuro, dahlings) is almost perfect.

Remarkably well done. Take a bow.
