This is why I don't have Facebook or twitter accounts - I would randomly follow around friends-of-friends and berate them for their spelling and grammar.

HLP forumites (who shall remain nameless for the moment) unable to distinguish between "then" and "than" should pay particular attention to #4.

Very amusing. Thanks for sharing. 

[StarSlayer]

Indeed.

I recently saw a sign in a shop window stating "Welcome to are new shop!" :facepalm:

Happens in every single country.

Ha ha ha, that's a great start, I'm sure that business is going to be booming!

Now that you mention the tattoos again, I was amused by them of course, but I kind of thought well it's the tattooist's fault, not the person's though. But now I think about it again, they're proudly displaying their bad tattoos! Which makes me wonder if they specified the design of the tattoos and the tattooists just went along with it... and laughed their asses off after the people left! 

I remember my Mum telling me once about someone who had a tattoo, supposed to be her boyfriend's name in Chinese, and she showed it to a Chinese waiter in a Chinese restaurant.

"Look, my boyfriends name!" She said proudly.
"No, that says 'I am a kung-fu fighter.'"

Oops...

This provided the best laughs of today for me! Thanks for sharing, I may share this in Facebook, if I think that certain young ladies can take the hint... Number 22 and Robby had me on floor laughing

But on the other hand, the other half of me is saying that this is because English is like French in the way that it is not pronounced as it is written. Or perhaps it's just plain and simple laziness.

#38?

They screwed the (kids') joke up.  It's supposed to be: "Why is six afraid of seven? -- BECAUSE SEVEN EIGHT NINE!"  It's a pun, and it's not 'nerdy' in the slightest.

This one had me literally cringing in pain.

The rest of the list was hugely entertaining, and demonstrates why I'm not on Facebook: I'd be forced to probably declare blood feuds on a large number of friends for their abuses. I'll stick to texting, where at least I can excuse them for having to use tiny keyboards.

And it reminds me of something that always happens when there's a thread like this, I second-guess my own typing, and make a bunch of mistakes when making these posts

[FreeSpaceFreak]

A few nice ones in there! I didn't get the one with the corn roads though.

And then there are those mistakes that are made so often they're not even funny anymore... http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

R.I.P. In pease Anglisc

EDIT: Bahahha, Czech the fridge.

The sad thing is I've talked to school teachers occasionally and they've commented on students handing in papers full of this stupid gibberish.  The kicker is when they are marked down for it the parents complain that it's not fair. 

[Mongoose]

There's an old high-school classmate I'm friends with on Facebook who's the same age as me (mid-20s), yet adopts the textual mannerisms of an 11-year-old girl in almost every post.  It's like watching a train wreck.

[Qent]

I feel like not enough attention was given to the word "literally."

corn ROWS is a common black hair style.

Once in a while this gets my knickers in a twist because we Europeans are poked fun at for our English. Meanwhile, in the Anglophile countries, they're sodomizing their native tongue like this! :-/

[Klaustrophobia]

the ones poking fun at european english are the same ones that want to *****slap the uneducated ****heads featured here though.  we don't claim them.

Oh don't worry, the people who can't even be bothered to learn their own language to even a basic standard really bug me too, and I'm English. I can't understand why people wouldn't want to learn their own language. It makes so many things so much easier.
