The Best (worst) Spelling and Grammar Errors Thread

Hmm, I think he's talking about a customer giving notice for not being able to make it to a scheduled lesson appointment?  He's saying if it's in the rules, then the customer should have called.  If it's an emergency, that should be a mitigating factor.

If I'm correct, just chalk it up to an abnormal gift I have for being able to translate horrible grammar/english.  I've always been great at it .

If I'm wrong, just forget the prior sentence.

"make the rules on breaking a lesson" = Set up the policies for cancelling an appointment.

? I guess.


I saw this just the other day. I don't know which is worse...producing this sign, or purchasing it and hanging it up at your business.

Nice find.  They spelled "surveillance" correctly (which would have been more difficult for me), but can't get "you're" right

I have no idea what that icon is supposed to be.

The Fastest Flip in the West


Here's the scenario, i hit the ball way right, like 100 yards off direction. Its an open golf course, and i about 189 yards to the whole . I just google mapped it. I thought it was about 185. This hole is about 10 yards uphill. So, i take out my 185 club, and i swing normal, catching it really good. It comes the usual height, nothing adnormal about this, except the ball traveled an extra 20 yards and flew the green. The shot was a push fade, but still. 99% of the time i hit that 185, i hit this one 205-210. Its absurd. I have no clue how i suddenly gain 20 yards of distance on an iron. Really, this is the first time i ever had one fly on me like that, who knows, maybe the stars aligned and i caught one perfect. Makes me feel upset that even when i thought i was swinging good, i am still swinging horrible.

We'll see how you handle the pressure

Good job, nonetheless.

It does seem like the kind of round where we've been accustomed to seeing a listless 18 holes from Tiger over the past few years.

I'm quoting myself on this one. Maybe no spelling or grammar errors per se, but that may be the most jumbled sentence I've ever written.

Why do people have such a hard time spelling Callaway? I can understand people messing up Titleist, due to the e before the i, but Callaway?

You meant to say "the site owner's at it once again" as in a contraction of "owner is." My posts aren't quoted here with any regularity, so for us (the plural form) to be "at it once again" we'd have to have been "at it" previously. :D

it is kind of amazing that people have called you out, only to be proven wrong when their quote matches your post and there is not a single grammatical error.

Uhm, or not.

My post was quoted once, and joked myself about fixing the mistake in the original post, with a smiley and everything, and someone specifically "called shenanigans" which it was, but apparently you think that's way, way more serious than it was.

In other words, you're being a bit of a tool. I don't know why, but your perception doesn't align with reality in this case.

I generally don't expect to find my posts quoted here because, by and large, I use proper grammar and can spell. I've limited my discussion here to a few jokes and a few pictures about common spelling mistakes and the like. From my memory, 95% of the grammatical errors cited here are from non-long-term members.

Now, back to making fun of people (including myself and my ability to edit posts and point that out myself in a funny way that others "got" while you seem to have missed the boat entirely…).
