Oops

I had to remove one of my t-shirt slogans because... well... I never proofread and I wrote up one of them with the most bizarre and incorrect grammar ever. I was appalled. Good thing I squandered my English Department scholarship on a Russian Studies degree, huh?

It's one thing to leave a typo in a post. It's another to have turned the typo into a JPEG and posted it. What a dork!

Hanging my head in linguistic shame...

It was pretty embarrassing! What a bonehead!

I is the smartest blogger ever. (Not.)

That's it, you're off my blogroll ;)

Spencer said...

That is funny in an ironic sort of way. Sure you weren't going for irony?

I wish I had been. I think it was just a matter of being dead tired - my eyes saw something perfectly fine. Yesterday morning, however, it was a different matter.

What I meant to write was: "If I'm on the steamtrain to Hell, I might as well ride first class!"

Instead, what I wrote was "If I'm on the steamtrain to Hell, I'll must as well ride first class!" WTF?!?!?

(I don't mind recreating my brain fart in the comments. Less embarrassing here...)

I just realized you kindly thought I'd written "I is the smartest blogger ever." Oh, I only wish I had!!

suze said...

i like "i is the smartest blogger".

i think that should be your slogan! ;)

You now own that slogan - it's yours!

Use it carefully.

Seriously - I wish I even had any hopes of not sounding like a moron with some of the stuff I write.

You're actually good at this.
