The answer is that you are living in an illeagle basement apartment.

I'd like a day on which I could correct every error I see without anyone calling me names like "Grammar Nazi," or responding with, "Whatever. You know what I ment (sic.)" Or just some tranquilizers. Those would be fine, too.


"Our kids is the ones that's got to suffer." - a facebook poster
"I loved the chocolate moose."- a facebook poster talking about the chocolate mousse at a restaurant called, "Ponderosa."

"Pondersosa was on johnson."
"auto zone was Pondersosa."

Other posters in this commentary on an article about a popular grocery chain pointed out the error, which may be due to autocorrect, but it's too good to leave out here:

"most of it does I work here it's affordable because we buy in high Valium and we are all way competing to beat out the over priced local grocery store.

What?

Or they are using one of those foreign language translators.

Nope, this is an American chain. The poster in question was referring to Italian olive oil sold by these stores- others had questioned if it was really Italian.

But it does sound like Greek to me!

DAMMIT, Fox Terrier, I came here to post that one! It was old, too, from 2011, but someone revived the thread.

A comment on the "Nashville"-ABC Facebook page:

"I've never been to Tennessee and from what I've seen can't wait to go back".

What??

Some...sage...advice for a young woman who is having problems with a neighbor:

"Is it possible that there is an odd 66 year old that gets cranky (turret syndrome cranky) because he has dietaries and smashes the doors and cabinets, then there is an impressionable young girl, who is scared.

A gun in this situation is the best solution, I am sure.

Get a boyfriend, is a much better advice!"


The question that I posed in response was, "What if he has a machine gun mounted in his turret?"
I wonder if I will get a reaction to that post...

A South Carolina newspaper wrote this: "At one point, rescuers considered repelling down the building to reach the window washers." They'd have better luck if they tried rappelling, probably.
