From a post in C-D:

"...For a Christian, she sure is a judgmental, trouble making winch...."

I keep visualizing a truck, carefully backing up so as to get a good grip....

Is there a rule of grammar not to end a sentence with a contradiction?

"...I hate making fun of another's looks, but I call her Bucky Beaver..."

Luckily, English is the second language for some of his students, so at least they probably won't know that he doesn't know how to spell, "meet".

mode of operendi

I think they mean modus oporandi, although my Latin is very rusty after all these years. If so, they don't need OF because it's included in OPERANDI. If they really wanted to be right and use the complete expression they could have used MODUS instead of mode. Why, do, we, expet, anyone. To get it write these Days; i dont no. no Won carz.

From the NJ Forum:

"he cant hit eryone cuz he is eryone"


I am aware of, "text-speak", but..."eryone"?

Is this the new text-speak way of typing, "everyone"?
Or...is this person simply unable to spell, "everyone"?

In my state forum, a thread entitled, "Shawdy Initial Move Out Inspection."

Some posters thought the OP meant "shady"...or maybe "shoddy"?
