epic fail
HAHAHA
I just wanted to slot in here, at the top, that there is an immensely long, drawn out and unfunny bunch of comments about GRAMMAR later in this thread… save yourself time, if you don’t like grammar arguments, by starting at the bottom or something. I enjoy this site but feel the GRAMMAR BICKERING is sad and pointless. Some people CAN write and use grammar correctly and LIKE to write correctly. Some people CAN’T write and use grammar correctly OR they like to shorten their sentences. I like to try and write as well as possible but, mistakes are made…
Anyways – if you like people arguing over apostrophes, commas etc. READ ON READER! If you think it’s gay… time to hit ‘back’
Kind regards
Gobby Gee
Hey Mr. Hight And Mighty, you misplaced a comma, made an error with your ellipsis, made an error with quotation marks and left a period off the end of a sentence.
“I like to try and write as well as possible but, mistakes are made…”
The comma should be before the “but.” When ending a sentence with an ellipsis, you end with four periods.
“Anyways – if you like people arguing over apostrophes, commas etc. READ ON READER! If you think it’s gay… time to hit ‘back’”
“Anyways” isn’t a word. Using single quotes should only be done when you’re quoting within a quote. And it’s just basic grammar to end sentences with periods.
I’m done.
epic grammar correction of a grammar “nerd” WIN.
yeathatwasprettyepicfailifisaysomyselff….isthereanythingworngwiothmyspellingandgrammartoo?becasueidliektobecorrectedsometimeasimwritingabooksoon.imsuchagoodwriter,asucanplainlysee…
There’s nothing worng with your spelling!
Look, I have a really small comment.
Oo-er. Freudian innuendo FAIL!
you spelled wrong worng
So did you.
I’m pretty sure Steve’s saying that the user spelled “wrong” w-o-r-n-g.
WYH AER THREE SO MANNY STOOPID PEEPEL HEER? MOTS OF YOW NED TO LERNE HOW TO SMELL BATTER.
I tried that once, but I got raw cake on my nose.
<3
There is nothing wrong wioth your spelling.
Obviously there is WITH your spelling, however, yes?
“wioth” is not a word.
And clearly there is a problem with your grammar, beacuse it is not grammatically correct to place the word “however” in the middle of a sentence. You should have said: “However, there is obviously something wrong with your spelling, yes?”
Dude…. Sarcasm. Stop focusing on the grammar. Start focusing on the jks
Space bar broke?
Hmm.
Ring the bell, B. Schmidt just killed that pompous ass.
Well, other than “hight” anyway, that part is a little unfortunate.
hight and mighty?
i think there’s a universal law that states: when you try to correct someone’s grammar you inevitably make at least one mistake yourself. it’s why these conversations go on for so long.
It’s kind of like the way you did not bother to use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences.
Except he did it just to piss off losers like you.
Oh, so you know him personally?
You guys realise you’re proving his point perfectly, right?
And sort of like the way you didn’t pluralize “beginnings”.
you’re all a huge bunch of failosauruses.
Would it not be failosauri?
Oh, snap.
I was wondering if anyone would actually catch that. ^_~ Congratulations!
Actually, an ellipsis consists of 3 evenly-spaced periods (not 4) so you’re wrong to point that out as a grammatical error. If you try to type 4 periods into most word processors they will automatically put a space between the third and fourth periods. It’s an extremely awkward thing to look at.
Now you know! And knowing is half the battle.
To very likely misquote a source that I’m not particularly certain of.
She wasn’t saying that an ellipsis was four periods she was saying it was three, but you have to put in the fourth period for the end of the sentence.
The period should be inside the quotes in “beginnings.”
it’s kind of like the way we aren’t in english class
Isn’t “english” capitalized?
Wouldn’t it make sense to capitalize a proper noun?
Maybe make it English?
Just a thought…
im just adding this in here. i mean im no expert or anything. but in my experience’s ive learned that argueing over the internet is like the special olympics, it doesnt matter if u win or fail cause in the end your still retarded.
two cents fail
bad bad bad bad bad bad
definate win
Mr. height and mighty? Seems to be a fail right there
epic fail
B. Schmidt, here is a quiz for you:
is it:
a) High and Mighty
b)Hight and Mighy
c) High and Mighty
Second Question (open ended)
Why are you a shit head?
LOLZ!!!!!!
*Clap for the monkey with his cute insults!*
Coochie coochie coo! Who’s a good widdle monkey? Aww..
Seriously – Insults like “Why are you a shit-head?” turn out badly,
and end up making you appear an unimaginative moron that think’s he’s
intelligent.
…Of course I’m not saying you are an unimaginative moron, as I’ve never met you;
Your jokes just give that impression.
(Just thought I’d get to that point before you did.)
OK really?
You went all out on that one.
I think you’re trying to compensate for something, Mr. K.
Be it small penis or overly short last name, I don’t care,
but you obviously took WAY too much time to try and make someone feel bad, and thus, I conclude that you are lacking a LIFE. Or sex. Eiter way, you’re uptight, and you’re a jerk. OTAY!? HMKAYBAI!
“multible” Ha!
WIN
I’m still confused as to how choice ‘a’ and ‘c’ are different.
Comments like these make me sad. Try to use the “F word” less openly and try to be more polite and assertive when answering to other people’s comments.
Also, I would just like to point out that some people on the web aren’t native English speakers. So it’s normal that there will be some comments with very poor grammar.
Feel free to correct any of my grammar mistakes by the way, I’m always happy to know where I’ve made errors. : )
there is no period after your emoticon. was it a question or a statement?
Hahahaha, kudos on the second question!
dude, this is the internet.
70% of the comment are just plain retarded.. xD
Just 70%? I go no lower then 90%.
than*
lmao, nice catching ur own grammr there before someone else did, god forbid u don’t lol, they’ll rip u to peices here…and as far as my grammar goes? i went to grand meadow for my edumication… dont blame the student…
well said
i salute thee
seventy percent of the comment?
seriously.
is seventy larger than one?
……
is it?
Shouldn’t that be high and mighty?
BURN!
Why the hell are people bickering about grammar on a site that is directly affilliated with I can has cheezburger and I has a hot dog?!?!?!?!?!?
Epic WTF
Why not?
Although, that is not a very clear answer.
I think a better answer from me would be that those are meant to be bad grammar, therefore, doesn’t reference the people who post them as having bad grammar, but rather refer to animals to usually have bad grammar, overall this means that the affiliate sites use grammar jokingly, while this site takes it more seriously. Besides, they are not the same site.
P.S. – I do not like correcting my own grammar. :p
And Engrish Funny,
nice language, genius. this is not a smut site.
nice smut, genius. this is not a lanuage site.
not a lanuage site? clearly.
really dudes. this is stupid. grammar is not the point of this website. we arent getting graded or analyzed or whatever. why dont u just enjoy the site and stop trying to act all tough from your computer. for gods sakes im just a kid and i have to be the mediator here?? really. and if you want to comment on my 7th graders english go ahead. but is it really worth it?? no one likes a grammar police!
If you meant “High and Mighty,” I’m pretty sure you just failed.
If you’re going to try to pwn, spell it right.
Might i suggest that you stop correcting the grammar of wut might as well be a public service announcement that somebody posted for the good of everybody reading and go do sumthing useful with ur life
I like shortening words/phrases and skipping periods cuz it makes things easier, that’s why ppl started doing it
It’s pointless to do such things as argue about grammar over the internet when one could be doing sumthin more useful to society, perhaps somethin involving a baseball bat and ur skull cracking (statement not necessarily to schmidt but to those kinds of ppl in general)
Easier for who? It might be easier to type, but I’m screwed if I understood half of what you said just then without re-reading it.
The very fact that you’re telling people off for arguing about literacy, then going on to argue it yourself, makes you something akin to a hypocrite. Sorry, not akin to; just a hypocrite.
Also, I find it odd that you drop out periods and shorten words “cuz it makes things easier”, yet you capitalise words and use other forms of punctuation.
Seriously. Skipping periods is for pregnant women.
…Damn, I promised myself I wasn’t going to buy into this.
happeh hippeh- u admitedly…
FAIL!
Also, you can’t “try and” do something. “Try to” do something is correct.
You’re either trying or doing, not trying and doing.
What is this Mr. Hight and Mighty you speak of?!
(WHOOPS! Did you mean “Mr. High and Mighty”?)
Hey Mr. High and Mighty, you added an extraneous letter.
Silly me, I’m an idiot. I should have typed “HIGH and Mighty,”
and look at that — “anyways” IS a word!
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anyways
Guess I better pick up a dictionary every once in a while…oh and learn
how to stop being so utterly gay.
But being gay is so fun ^.^
=p
You are a GIANT failure.
Anyways was a word since your mom was born with the DINOSAURS.
You spelled “High wrong”. Fail. Plus extra fail because you were telling someone off about their spelling and grammar.
Gah, I fail. I didn’t see the correction. *head/desk*
Hey, B. Schmidt, you forgot two commas.
“Hey Mr. Hight And Mighty, you misplaced a comma, made an error with your ellipsis, made an error with quotation marks and left a period off the end of a sentence.”
“Hey” and then somebody’s name, or a lame made-up one intending (and failing) to insult them, requires a comma between “Hey” and said name.
And when you’re dealing with a list of verbs, you need a comma before the “and” on the last one.
NOW you’re done.
You spelled ‘high’ wrong.
Technically, you can’t start a sentence with and because it is a connective.
looser
than what?
If we were on facebook, I would like this thread just for that.
“Hight and Mighty”?
LOL
grammar nerd pwn!!he just got BURNED!!!
Excuse my grammar.
You’re excused.
Isn’t the saying ‘high and mighty’? Yeah I’m pretty sure it is.
Grammar Nazi 1, guy with life 0
“Hight”?
Nearly a perfect tear apart win, but lost me in the beginning as I’m pretty sure there is no silent ‘t’ in High.
Well, a few things.
I did expect an error or two in your comment, it’s unavoidable. However, one so early on in your post? And it’s a pretty obvious one too…
Also, you should probably take a look at some resources before claiming “anyways” is not a word. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary(a fairly reliable source), it is a word.
Also, I believe you missed a comma in your first sentence.
And try not to be so damn snotty, it’s annoying.
I’m done.
just so you know, it’s “high and mighty” dipshit
“Anyways” IS a word, just not generally accepted to begin a sentence with, neither is “and.” It’s just basic keyboarding etiquette to place two spaces between periods. You’re welcome.
Fail. So last year.
Actually it’s 3 ellipses…or at least it is where I come from.
oh and guess what everyone-who-thinks-only-retards-type-poorly-online? i don’t give a crap about my online GRAMMER and im a uni grad with an english major AND i rite books for a living. go figure!
Thought I would add some fuel to the fire, cause I felt like it.
LMFAO
i’m pretty sure i’ve heard stupider, yes STUPIDER. but this one is amusing (in the same way farts are).
and yes, i’m purposely not using capitul or coorect grammar.
have a nice day!
lol, “Mr. “Hight” and Mighty?
you my friend, have just owned a noob and get my vote for the burn of the week. =)
**High.
Failure Grammar Nazi Fails. *shakes her head*
Grammer arr uselis, and no wun can stopp me from farking it all up for you!
You wants good englishes? I was teached those. But for now to pissss off’s the gramer natsis I will do it bad on purposes!!!!

I’m tabled. Christ.
Dear Gobby Bee (Or is it Gobby Gee?),
You suck.
Sincerely,
This Guy
wow im burnt for grammer grats grammer police victory to you grats on that victory indeed
but to be honest i was defending a religion from some racist scum who thinks jokes about other religions or races are funny but to be honest most 18 to 13 year old boys in the usa are like this with the lack of respect that is given now to others
oh and thanks for making this the second time ive been on the main page because i did get a picture on the front once before ^^
GrammAr, dammit. grammar.
Does Kelsey Grammer have his own private police force?
Dammit you weren’t supposed to know about them. Grammer police, go get em!!!!!
“18 to 13 year old boys?”
Counting fail.
The majority of people who make racist jokes don’t have any ill intentions; they just know how to have a joke.
Seriously, if you can’t take a joke about your beliefs, then how strong are they?
Are boys growing younger now? I thought it was said correctly as “13 to 18 year old boys.”
Gobby Bee,
I actually quite enjoy grammar discussions and arguing over commas, apostrophes and the like.
To that end, you need a period after “back” but before the apostrophe. (I’ll assume the use of apostrophes instead of quotation marks was a stylistic choice.) You also need a comma after “regards” in your valediction.
Cheers!
StingRay
Grammar isn’t something bad to argue over, necessarily. I’m an English teacher and it drives me nuts. People need to learn the damn language, then come back and try to argue over something stupid, so we can actually understand what the are saying.
“Kind Regards”
Shay
God, i love paying taxes for shit head teachers like you. There is no better understanding to be gained of the english language (or anything for that matter) from the comments section of this blog. If this is your idea of learning, it’s no wonder that America’s education system is failing. That is assuming you happen to be a teacher in the U.S. if not: you’re still a shit head
Clearly you don’t understand that teachers have an obligation to teach the proper structures of the English language. Tehshay wasn’t implying that there was better understanding to be gained from the English language of this blog, but rather was commenting on the apparent lack of English language education that many people are exhibiting in this thread, and the impact of difficulty in comprehension that many people are having due to this.
I’m sure there will be at least one comment about my spelling or punctuation somewhere along the lines. I think people need to look at what is being said as well as how it is typed, though.
hense the grand meadow edumication… thnx 4 ur suppart.
Commentors (those who claim to be English teachers, in particular) who insist on pointing out the grammar mistakes of others, would do well to proofread their own posts. That way, we can actually understand what “the” are saying.
Actually, she/he was right.
You missed it….
I’m sorry, what is a “commentor”? I haven’t come across that word in my life, and therefore I cannot understand what you are saying in the slightest.
Also, learn to use commas. You stuck an extra one in for no reason.
“actually understand what the are saying.”
How about “…what theY are…”?
You forgot a ‘Y’ there.
Shay,
Epic Fail on your “I am an English teacher / Everyone learn the damn language” post: “what THEY* are saying.”
Way to go,
Mickey
Don’t you mean what theY are saying?
hear! hear! well said!
you accumulate “much too many” bullshit in total
way “much too many” bullshit more…holy shit; it’s contagious
your name is Gobby Bee not Gee.
Knowing your own name Fail.
is it gobby bee or gobby gee?
I have a question, how can correcting grammar be gay?
What does that mean? I do not understand people who use gay as a description of something that has nothing to do with a sexual preference. Will someone enlighten me please. Otherwise do everyone who actually understands what the word gay means and stop using it out of context…you’re not 5. Thank you.
gay does not describe a sexual preference… it is a nomenclature for same sex couple/relationship… and by the way… gay has officially taken its own term… there r now 3 tipes (yes i spelled types=tipes) of gay… u FAIL!
You would have gotten a WIN from me except for your obnoxious use of ‘gay’
as a slur.
Fail.
I bet you want to “slot in”
Gobby Bee condones the use of ignorance. (See just right now I had to look up how to spell “ignorance”. Calling out bad grammar is winning English back from the depths of LOLspeak.)
Kind regards to YOU!
epic fail. it says Kind Regards: Gobby Gee and yet your name is Gobby Bee. i hereby name you Gobby Failure.
Isn’t your screen name, ‘Gobby Bee’ not Gobby Gee? Maybe you should read over what you send.. You’re a fucinng idiot.
I didn’t read everyone’s comments but did anyone else notice that It says “Gobby Bee” wrote the comment, but he signs it with “Gobby Gee”?
lol Of course my post is right after someone else that noticed. That’s what I get for not reading.
there’s no such word as ‘anyways’
i’m going back to slotting Mrs. Bee.
post this message on the next burn of the week.
first reply to the first reply of the first comment
fail
that was indeed epic fail
yes. yes it was.
nice language, genius
Raise grammar awareness.
Rayz, Grammer! awaireness?
WIN.
You all fail. thank you, and have a nice day
Motivation FAIL!
Or is it a demotivate win?
Grammar are for square.
Wow everyone here epic failed at having a life…. Who the **** bothers about grammar in comments anyway? Go get some guys and gals!!! Plus this site being one of the LOLcat group you’d assumer lack of grammar isn’t necessarily a bad thing…. Toodle-pip
Hear Here!! I made that same comment up higher a little ways, but you made it first it seems (didn’t notice it til after obviously) But glad to see someone else caught that irony. Oh, and toodle-pip?!?!?
I’m quiet concurs.
I bought a used car once. Ten years later, BAM! herpes.

Well if your going to enter like that with a capasity crowd of ‘me’ atleast show me your BOOBS!
I think the runner up is the greater win.
I did LOL more at that one.

Win
Totally epic.
yep
Bend over and i will show you greater win
Many LOLZ thx 4 them
Oh, you are sooo sued!
Me, too.
agreed
Whaaaat, no grammar fight ovarr here? O: D:
(I agree that the runner up is the greater win 8D )
yesss. grammar fail, ftw.
I don’t think that someone who cannot bother to spell ‘yes’ correctly should be commenting on mistakes of others.
Look who’s talking, mister no capitalization.
don’t you just hate people who nitpick about grammar
The term is ‘grammar Nazi’ and no, I don’t hate them (us?) because the slaughter of a language is much worse for one’s eyes than seeing someone being corrected. Also, no punctuation makes for bad grammar. ^ I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?
Aren’t you glad I’ve given you a dose of Grammar today?
“I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?”
i’m not a grammar nazi, but don’t you mean:
I’m thinking you’re in need of a question mark, aren’t you?
epic lawlz.
I’m thinking it’s more a need of a dash or perhaps semicolon to clarify, as in “I’m thinking you need a question mark–aren’t you (thinking the same thing)?”
Technically the use of the comma is correct, but it could be replaced with another form of punctuation to avoid confusion.
Pseudo-grammar FAIL
At least MY grammar is very goodish.
Mine are much more gooder than yours!
Not for reel! Me gramers AN sppelings ar moar betar dan yourses is!
no lol speak go to the cat board
good job.
“I think you need a question mark, don’t you/do you not?”
It’s called “muphry’s law.” When correcting grammar mistakes, you are bound to make some yourself. The more important the document or message being corrected, the bigger the mistake will be.
Case in point – “Muphry’s Law”
jascha couldn’t have meant to do that, could he/she/it/they?
it?
ominous.
Amoebus blobs are now posting comments on failblog.
It is the first plague.
Please properly quote Murphy’s law. Murphy’s law states:”Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”.
rofl
“I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?”
I’m thinking you need a “don’t you”, don’t you?
“I’m thinking you need a “don’t you”, don’t you?”
You are incorrect, Major.
“I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you [thinking you need a question mark]?” and “I think you need a question mark, don’t you [think you need a question mark]?” are both correct, but what you propose is not.
“I am thinking” matches “aren’t you” but not “don’t you”.
“I [do] think” matches “don’t you” but not “arent’ you”.
I think you both need to STFU, don’t you?
Awww… someone’s feeling insecure about their intellect… how cute.
Win XD
if (grammer != intellect) {
for(int i = 0; i < 0xFFFFFFFF; i++) {
printf(“HAHA you FAIL!”);
}
}
i expressed my feeling that you failed in code because i am a programmer, and i know a lot of programmers who are vary smart, but just can’t spell or grammer vary well.
$davidspost = “I can’t spell the word grammer”;
function grammarFilter($davidspost)
{
$bad_grammar = array(“grammer” => “grammar”,
“gr@mm3r” => “grammar”,
“gramer” => “grammar”,
“gramar” => “grammar”
);
foreach ($bad_grammar as $key=>$value)
{
$davidspost = preg_replace(“/”.$key.”/Uis”, $value, $davidspost);
}
return $davidspost;
}
echo grammarFilter($davidspost);
———————————————-
Hmm…I don’t appear to have that problem.
Indentation fail?
You should have tried indenting in a post here before the false fail alert. That in itself is fail.
+1 for catching the spelling mistake.
-10 for missing that grammar isn’t a verb.
Yeah there are too many people out there that have trouble with their grammar. I wish more people could “grammer well”.
that’s correct! grammar AND content…
Oh, you don’t need me around…
“I am thinking” is not at all parallel to “aren’t you?”. There is too much implied to make it a complete sentence. “I am thinking you are in need of a question mark, are you not? would be a better solution.
My cat’s nose squeaks when it breathes.
Best argument I’ve read on here. Good man.
Actually, colonel, as long as the reader is free to assume (as the sentence structure suggests) that “don’t you” refers back to “need a question mark”, Major’s statement is correct. Unless you have some sort of indication that you are indeed missing the words “think/thinking you need a question mark”, your statement about matching the second verb clause to the first is absolutely absurd.
Why would you capitalise grammar but not grant the same honour to ‘grammar Nazi’ [sic], which would most probably count as a proper noun? Shall I go into this mess of a sentence: “I’m thinking you need a question mark, aren’t you?” No? Thank you, aren’t I.
I suggest you keep practising your shenanigans at home before challenging teh Intarwebs.
So are grammar Nazis anti-semantic?
Are grammar Nazis anti-semantic?
worth posting twice because author had such an epiphany that he/she wasn’t sure if they got it down right or on time before someone else.
My grandma was a nazi.
And capitalization and punctuation…
and starting a sentence with and…
Recursive fail.
Lmao, he owned himself.
No. Because then I would have to hate myself.
But, since you mentioned nitpicking, I might mention that you forgot both capitalization and ending punctuation in your post.
You’re welcome.
LOL
lolz
Um.. I think you’ll find it’s spelled ‘welkumq’. The Q is silent.
LOL
If that was a question, it should end with a question mark. ritard!
It’s “riitard.” Retard.
“ritard!” = spelling fail, one word pseudo-sentence fail, and politically correct fail. The proper term is “mentally retarded.”
You fail.
Wasn’t the proper term “mentally ill”?
no, mentally ill’s for crazies. mentally challenged is for rtards.
mentally challenged init?
Mentally challenged/developmentally disabled for those who are mentally challenged/ developmentally disabled is politically correct.
Stupid/idiotic/dumbass/dipshit/shit-for-brains/grammar nazi is politically correct.if you’re calling someone stupid.
Sorry if some of this looks terrible. My comp cut off some of each sentence.
Reunited and it feels so good!
Bad ’70s music reference … FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! A thousand times, FAIL!
You got the reference, does that mean you:
A) Fail?
B) Own yourself?
I see that the PC-nazis are in attendance as well.
Maybe the commenter is musical, and he meant to indicate that the commented upon should just slow down a bit?
Listen, kids. Only you can prevent apostrophe abuse. Besides the small and excusable sentence fragment, Sara J was right.
Sorry =/ But I have to point out your use of “puctuation”, which, I believe, is not a word.
Subjunctive case, anyone?
Eloquent
Indubitably.
Anyway it’s a mood, not a case. Nouns have cases.
Your mum has cases.
no, that’s imperative
no. that’s subjuntive.
Ah, it flows most eloquently, like poetry.
No, I don’t. People who are too lazy/stupid to use proper sentence structure, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are my pet peeve.
Your all a bunch of reitards, especially the person who posts next
irony WIN
“You’re all a bunch of retards, especially the person who originally misspelled this sentence.”
dolt fails. I hate people that you correct them and get the classic “it’s the internet I don’t care about spelling”
Let us assume you intended to say “people whom you correct”. Very well, but what of capitalization and punctuation? Are these things to be entirely disregarded? Would it have strained your fingers to actuate the appropriate keys?
I might also add that the sentence you quote is by no means a classic. The Illiad is a classic. [sniff]
What’s the Illiad? The title of the new Beastie Boys Album?
No.
and you spelled sentance wrong
Actually, it’s spelled sentence. I can’t even begin to describe how stupid you are. It’s called a dictionary, check your facts before you make a fool out of yourself.
Pissy poor spelling.
Correction FAIL
Wow.
You spelled sentence wrong, you abysmal idiot.
Check your damned facts before you post them for the world to see.
how am i the only one who understood what u meant by spelling sentence sentance… u were making a joke jar jar, jimthebrit, leah, and grammar cop… have… no… sense… of… humor… in other words they all FAIL!
No, I hate people who bastardize the English language. The difference between you’re/your, to/too/two, their/they’re/there shouldn’t be that hard to figure out.
I hate people who bastardize the English language… such as Americans!
Touche.
It’s “Touché” !
I hate those guys who bastardize French
Touche.
douche
Aren’t you special.
Or is it douché?
XD Awesome Win.
Lolz
Ahaha!! You sir, made my day! I love reading these comments.
or is that a bastardization of the Italian language? ie Duce
by the way, I am so happy you wrote that. I tried desperately to post that but my computer wouldn’t let me. it would have been heartbreaking to see that opportunity lost
Haha! Computer Fail!
Booyah!
I hate people who bastardize the English language… such as you!
luk just ’cause u ‘s de author o’ GRAMMAR NITPICKING FOR DUMMIES dohn’t mean de rest of us r Kimberly ‘nd just fyi it is that hard to figure out
Huh?
Ditto.
Huh?
Grammar retaliation FAIL.
^^Witty retort spelling FAIL.^^
I’m not going to respond to your comment because you used a single-quote instead of an apostrophe. And you smell.
Both are great if you ask me, which nobody did but whatever.
You forgot the comma after “did”.
Actually, the ‘but’ can work as a comma, much like when you are making a list and the ‘and’ can be a substituted for a comma.
English is very finicky.
Second one was much better.
They nitpick about grammar and yet no one cares to correct the punctuation; fail.
You win a Correct Use of the Semicolon Award.
Actually, the “winner” in the first one fails epically for misspelling “don’t” in a reply calling someone out on a misspelling. Not to mention failure to capitalize the first letter in a sentence and place a period at the end.
Grammar plz, indeed.
Yeah I like how both of them are about grammar.
Diversity fail.
What’s even more of a fail is that no one seems to get that racism and religious intolerance are not the same thing… since when is being Jewish make you another race? Congratulations, you just failed again.
Errr…well, some Jewish folks think of “Jewish-ness” as an ethnicity – like the Sephardic (sp?) Jews.
Other don’t.
Go figure.
Ask the last pope. He said so.
But since “race,” biologically, is defined as an inbreeding group, any group that consistently and exclusively breeds within itself (which would lead to the development of characteristics/features with a much higher incidence in the group than with the rest of the population of that same species) can be considered a breed. Since for hundreds, probably thousands, of years Jews have for the most part married other Jews, it is possible and really quite accurate to consider Judaism as a race, not just as a religion. If you would like to come up with a better adjective to avoid confusion between Judaism as a race and Judaism as a religion (i.e., if you really want to specifically refer to Sephardic and Ashkenazi people), be my guest.
I figure that Jewish refers to race, Judaic refers to religion and Israeli refers to the political nation. At least that is the functional definitions I get from their common usage.
Whatever happened to the term ‘Hebrew’ (adjective or noun)? I think that’s a more appropriate correlate to ethnicity and it frees up ‘Jew(-ish)’ for application to proponents of the religion. ‘Judaic’ seems to correspond more to an insentient object or idea of the religion than an associated human.
being jewish means you can practice the religion, have jewish blood, or practice the vulture – or do just one of the three. hebrew is the language that is spoken in israel.
when-ever i practice vulture, i always use proper gramma, um, grammer, and i always try to place my commas, oh,crap, comments in the rite, um, no, wait, write, no…wait, don’t tell me….um, corralative spot. crap! i give up….back to drawering pictures i guess…has anybody seen my crayon? you know, the nice purple one? NO! not the “BROKEN CRAYON”!!!! (that’s for you alessio!!)
lol
religion and race are really just arbitrary distinctions anyway.
Congratulation to the Failed-Finalists. You really deserve it.
FAIL
My God, I’ve never witnessed a comment board filled with such an assemblage of losers with obvious penile deficiency issues…
To paraphrase the words of William Shatner in the SNL sketch from the 80′s:
GET A LIFE, will you people?
I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves? You, you must be almost 30… have you ever kissed a girl? I didn’t think so! There’s a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn’t watch television! I LIVED! So… move out of your parents’ basements, and get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP!
maturity fail!
You hurt my feelings.
Cry baby fail!
12 going on 85?
I fail to read long texts
The phrase you are looking for is tl;dr
my penile’s not deficient!
Bravo!!
hahahahaha, i realy can’t stop chuckling…
Penile is an adjective, penis is a noun.
Penile is also an adverbe when used to describe defenciency.
but…but … I don’t have a penis…sniff…sniff…I feel very left out…but I HAVE kissed lots of girls…mwahaha
Aw, that’s why you’re one of my favorite goddesses. <3
Took the words out of my mouth.
My God, I’ve never seen someone post such a long rant about nothing! Wow, AND you insult people? Please. All you need to add to that is something that begins with ‘yo mama’.
And to paraphrase something a BIT more sophisticated…
“Good Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
Now, If you think we’re almost 30 and have nothing going for us (I’m 18 and going to a state school to major in anthropology), and you’re telling us ‘when I was your age’… How old are you, my fossilized compadre? I don’t think you need to grow up any more, you’ll probably strain yourself. So go drink your prune juice and watch reruns of Andy Griffith. The Internet is no place for you. And have a nice day! <3
You’re majoring in anthropology and yet you still insist that “nothing going for you” doesn’t apply?
I disagree.
However, your reply made me giggle.
What’s wrong with anthropology? You may not know what the word means and you obviously think you’re cool but that doesn’t give you the right to diss someone for their interests. You probably won’t know what this means but I’m going to college to get a doctorate in paleontology. Now someone will probably end up trying to burn me.
You say that majoring in anthropology means that he has “nothing going for him” but you didn’t even mention what you’re going to do for a living. Let me guess, you plan on working at McDonald’s or some other fast food restaurant your whole life so you can spend your free time reading comments? Before anyone mentions the fact that I’m reading comments, I’m not in school right now and a friend told me that I should read this. So here I am.
Oh, as for my grammar. I already know that I’m horrible with grammar. That would be why I got a C in English class. Everybody has different strengths and weaknesses. My strengths happen to be science and math while my weaknesses are English and history.
quote from Channie… “My God, I’ve never seen someone post such a long rant about nothing!”
Channie: FAIL!
You just paraphrased Shatner, and we have no life? You’re just lining up for a major burn. Where’s that bend over guy when you need him?
No one ever needs that guy.
I’d bend over for him. So, no. There is someone who needs him. Cheers!
I’m nowhere near 30, and I’ve never kissed a girl because I’m a straight teenage female. I’m not old enough to live with anyone BUT my parents, and we don’t even HAVE a basement.
Fail to connect with anyone but yourself.
Hypocrisy win! You complain about losers spending time commenting, and somehow fail to notice the irony explicit in your own comment. I love you for that.
shouldn’t it be “burn of the weak?”
epic pun fail
8th grade grammar teacher win!
The first one isn’t even remotely funny. It’s actually rather offensive to both Jews and people who know how to type properly.
The second one, however. has much WIN.
This is making me fear posting comments.
So true.

Yeah, woo! Let’s rip apart the guy who respectfully asks for no racial/religious slurs! WIN!
Postscript. Judaism is also an ethnicity, and thus antisemitism could be considered racist.
so back to the issue at hand…wtf is the fail? It’s gone now apparently? Someone who saw it please explain it then.
That might be productive and/or interesting as opposed to a whole bunch of poorly spelled posts and then more of them trying to correct the first.
Observation fail.
Does anyone work?
I “work”, does that count?
mis-placed comma fail

Brit-crit WIN!
Quotations Marks with Other Punctuation
One question that frequently arises with quotation marks is where to place other punctuation marks in relation to them. Again, these rules vary from region to region, but North American usage is quite simple:
Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks.
I know you are fond of the story “Children of the Corn,” but is it an appropriate subject for your essay?
“At last,” said the old woman, “I can say I am truly happy.”
Semicolons and colons always go outside the quotation marks.
She never liked the poem “Dover Beach”; in fact, it was her least favourite piece of Victorian literature.
He clearly states his opinion in the article “Of Human Bondage”: he believes that television has enslaved and diminished an entire generation.
Question marks, exclamation marks, and dashes go inside quotation marks when they are part of the quotation, and outside when they do not.
Where is your copy of “The Raven”?
“How cold is it outside?” my mother asked.
Note that in North American usage, you should use single quotation marks (‘) only to set off quoted material (or a minor title) inside a quotation.
“I think she said `I will try,’ not `I won’t try,’” explained Sandy.

Are conjunctions not considered bad grammar? Come on people. If you’re going to claim something, do not half-ass it.
Not if you use an apostrophe?
No, I don’t believe CONJUNCTIONS are considered bad grammar. The words and, but, or, etc. are actually required for good grammar. CONTRACTIONS, however aren’t considered proper English and should never be used in formal writing. That is not to say that they should not be used at all. Contractions and other conventions of online communication make things easier, as long as they are used correctly and clarity takes precedent. Using u instead of you, leaving out occasional punctuation and capitalization, etc. make non-verbal communication faster, but only as long as it doen’t take ten minutes to translate once it has been posted or sent.
You’re absolutely correct about appropriate use of contractions. Notice how I’m being informal. Just one thing:
“[...] and clarity takes precedent.” -Shouldn’t that be precedence? This is an honest question, by the way.
“That is not to say that they should not be used at all.” double negative ftw. amidoingitright?
note the “conjunction” in your sentence… FAIL!
Ok, clearly the greater fail can be found in the comments section.
You mean in THIS comments section, as the original burn was in AN OTHER comments section (note that there is supposed to be a space in “an other”, but it is rarely written as such in the present day). You fail at unambiguity.
u told him… apparently… u have no idea watt him ment…
If someone says they think “something” can the stuff in the quotes be considered misspelling since they are thinking? You can’t misspell thoughts or spoken words, they are ethereal.
Philosophy fail.
SAD.
These are people half way across the world from you, yet everyone still feels the need to argue senselessly about a simple grammar mistake.
EPIC FAIL.

Failing to see Failzilla…
You fail.
I fail.
We all fail! Huzzah!
We all fail at failing. Hip-hip-hooray!
I get the feeling everyone here is trying to make a burn that will win next week’s contest. So far, they’re all failing.
This is just like any other thread on here. I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re exactly as retarded as the rest of us for having made that superfluous comment. Welcome home.
I hate it when arguing over the internet turns into attacks on each others spelling. Its old.
You missed some apostrophes there.
Yea I know. I never use them. I guess…it makes me stupid. D: I fail!
You forgot the “h” in “yeah”.
it’s supposed to be ‘h’ in ‘yeah,’ not “h” in “yeah!”
LOL! Even the grammar and spelling Nazi’s are doing it wrong. XD See, thats why I hate them, they’re rarely any better. They just use it to boost their own ego, maybe. :\ Oh well. I don’t mind if I get burned. I’ll be famous!
Oh noes!
There must be a grammar corollary to Godwin’s Law!
I am Godwin’s Law.
Lol I was trying to reply to the last reply in the winner. Fail on my part.
ROFLMFAO
I WIN!
Somebody burn me so I can be on it again next week.
Lol, you fail at being burned.
BURN BABY BURN!!1 *pushing teh button on FAILthrower*
BURN
I’ll give anyone that knows the correct meaning of my name, a cookie.
Post Scriptum: The comments for the fail are much more humorous than the actual fails.
no one cares.
it’s ‘funny.’ not ‘humorous,’ ya douchenozzle.
Does it mean beginning of the end? Or does it mean that turn tricks for bus fair and then walk home?
Wow … The supposed “burns” of the week are a couple of nit-picky Grammar Nazis bickering about homophones? What about the Neo-Nazi comment using “Jewtube” as a degrading remark? Is nobody allowed to correct an egregiously out-of-line comment like that unless they have perfect grammar? Get your priorities straight, people …
Amen!
Religious fanatic spotted.

This fail fails at being legible. Please restructure your sentence so that it can readily be read in English. The section in all-caps lacks any discernible structure with regards to subject, direct object, and verb agreement. The ambiguity contained therein requires correction.
Correct. We do not like you. Also, I think you mean ‘thereof,’ not ‘THERE OF.’
Advent = coming
Omega = End
Coming End is the meaning of your name. It isn’t that hard if you can speak Latin and Greek!
Where is my cookie?
Wouldn’t it mean Coming Minus End?
Coming Without End?
…. I don’t think I want the cookie if that’s correct.
Win.

“Oh, cool! I love icing on my cookies!”

Doesn’t omega mean beginning and end. His name could mean coming without beginning. Sounds painful if you ask me. In any case I have to agree with TTF… no cookie please.
Eh…I was close…but I forgot to put ‘you’ between ‘that’ and ‘turn’. Man, I am one pathetic looser!

Where is Dark?
Okay, Jews are not a race. You are defining race as a group of people that intermarry with each each other to the point where physical traits become characteristic of the group as a whole, which is quite broad. If that were true, and you were including Jews in this assumption, then you could likely apply this to any group of people, Scandinavians, Greeks, Koreans. Are you seriously trying to assert that just because members of an in-group look alike that you can assign them their own race? Jews, if they are are European, are Caucasian, and if you want to get technical, Middle Easterners are also Caucasian. The term Caucasian means from the Caucasus Mountains, which are located in Southwestern Russia (Chechnya), Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the area between the Caspian and Black Seas. Most of the European and Middle Eastern peoples originated from this area, and are thus considered Caucasian. Traditionally, the term Caucasian refers to typically light or paled skinned people. Anthropology includes Europeans, Middle Easterners, and people from northern Africa (like Egypt), Western Asia (Afganistan, Mongolia) and even India. Of course, our culture today only associates people of Europeans decent to be Caucasian. Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity. Certainly you do not have to be of Jewish decent to practice the Judaic religion, just the same as those who are of Jewish lineage could practice any other religion. Ethnicity is based on two criteria. First is culture; they share the same language, food, laws, and yes even religious practices, as they pertain to lifestyle, like the Gypsies. They can also be defined by where they live, like the Bengali people of Bangladesh, the Maoris of New Zealand, or the Quebecios, the French-speaking peoples of Quebec. Jews, as a people not a religion, are a sub group of the major race. Since there are Africans, Asians and Latinos who practice Judaism, it is a religion. Being of Jewish decent counts as ethnicity. If you don’t believe me, look it up for yourself.
Yeah. But… they’re Jews !
And they killed Jesus!
This was argued further up in the stack of comments. Look for it. Racism also counts for ethnicity as well as race, as it is generally accepted that ethnicity and race are close enough that they are interchangeable in certain situations. Antisemitism is racism.
Plus the mislabeling of races is common practice; take the “American Indians”, for example.
you fail for being the only one who read that wall of text.
aptly named – wall of text, indeed. let’s avoid those.
why avoid them? they edumacated me sooo much that my realizations have been changed all thanks to some dude who could have been writing a college dissertation or soemthign more useful instead of a f*cking post that no one cares about and will only be mocked, as it should be.
But their mom thinks they’re a genius, so …win??
I also read it. You fail.
haha i asked. they -like- being called that now. apparently it’s better than “native americans.” *shrug*
Note that that is the biological definition of race. Yes, technically your examples would (and, biologically-speaking, should) qualify as a race, but humans are special and use the term “race” differently, definitions vary by culture, most racial definitions today are really a matter of personal preference, whatever.
You’re right; “Caucasian” is way too broad a term. However, since the original Caucasian population to which the term refers were supposedly unusually pale, the term “Caucasian” as it is used today is meant to refer to someone with very pale skin, like the original Caucasians.
Also, if you are going to talk about being sensitive about Judaism being a religion and how we must be clear that “being of Jewish decent,” not
being Jewish,” is what counts as an ethnicity, I suggest you not use racial slurs in your post.
Yeah… but they are STILL Jews !
Cartman!
And….they killed Jesus!
well i agree with most of the things you said but why are humans so special? we didnt really do anything spectacular. well except for..you know…kill nature for the time being. either way nature was truly responsible for making us the way we are. you know, the whole evolution thingy (this doesn’t mean im going against any religion or anything). but either way it could have been a different species that evolved into the dominant species but we got lucky:)
You type this much to FAIL at spelling ‘descent’ correctly?
Sorry I missed the point the first time. Didn’t think those first comments were any funnier than the other lame crap people respond with here and elsewhere on “first”-y boards.
First reply to “‘first’-y” board hater
You guys are pretty funny. Someone types “Jewtube” to get a rise and it works. Someone else corrects grammar and all the sudden all of you are attempting to one up each other as if in a sophamore English class. All of you do that I feel the need to comment myself. I thing we all need to go outside, go for a jog, have a beer and sit in the sunshine. Please hold the pollution, alcoholic and skin cancer remarks
“Reaction” not “rise”; “sophomore” not “sophamore”; “think” not “thing”;
“All of you do that I feel the need to comment myself.” <???? “After all this I feel the need to comment too.”
“Please hold the pollution, alcoholic and skin cancer remarks” “Please refrain from any remarks about pollution, alcoholism, and skin cancer.”
you’re an idiot waffle, probably a jew

[/ThisIsHumorIfYouDon'tLikeItIgnoreIt]
I will ignore the absurd grammar discussion, but not your framing of an offensive comment with a “humor” disclaimer. If you knew it would be offensive (as it clearly is), I’m not sure why you wrote it. There’s a reason people don’t like religious and racial slurs: they connote discrimination, mistreatment, and ignorance. Humor is a pretty flimsy excuse for that.
Because I’m sure someone will try to discredit my response by making statements about my religious identity, I’ll state that I’m not a member of the Jewish faith.
Epic Win
I don’t think humor is ever a flimsy excuse for anything. Taking things to/too/two seriously leads to things like Auschwitz and the pedantic, inane drivel that has filled this page and my room with laughter. I feel we should laugh about people who look different or call God by another name, because if we don’t, we end up hating them. Just laugh people!
Some moron for President
This is the most amazing thread of comments I have ever read.
pop culture fail.
yay im in something again woot =\
A) The grammar/usage-specific “law” is “Muphry’s Law,” not “Murphy’s Law.” It’s meant to be recursive.
B) “Ritard” is an Italian musical term meaning “slow down.” Maybe Grammar a-hole was just asking you to slow down and think before you comment?
C) Tweet the Fail Mail’s diatribe on punctuation is the most common American style, but it certainly isn’t the only style. They do things differently in Great Britain, for example.
D) A Semite is someone who is descended from Shem. It technically refers to practically anyone from the Middle East, including most Muslims. The narrowing of the term “anti-Semitism” to refer specifically to Jews (both ethnic and religious) was an outgrowth of the Holocaust.
E) Spelling has nothing to do with grammar. Read Huck Finn. Read Flowers for Algernon. Read A Clockwork Orange.
Seriously, if you guys would read more than just blogs and blog comments, you might actually find that you have something interesting to say.
And there’s nothing wrong with starting a sentence with a conjunction. All of the English-speaking world’s greatest writers have done it. And guess what?! It’s okay to wantonly split an infinitive! And a preposition really is a word you can end a sentence with!
That’s what I was gonna say.
Win, sir. Except that “ritard” is not Italian for anything. It is a colloquial (and sometimes formal) abbreviation of ritardando, meaning “slowing down,” not “slow down.” Content win. Grammar win. Italian fail. Musical fail.
^ EdM wins.
Take it from the music major.
And yes, spelling has much to do with grammar.
I’m sorry you think we can misspell anything we so dearly please to misspell and still call ourselves perfect grammarians because a great author once took a bit of artistic license to give people in the story a characteristic dialect. Fitting in letters for the reader’s understanding of how characters talk is not the same as just misspelling words anywhere and everywhere in the story.
You lose. You get nothing. Good day, sir.
And you, sir, have run-ons.
“Seriously, if you guys would read more than just blogs and blog comments, you might actually find that you have something interesting to say.”
If you do, and you come across some actual correct English usage along the way, try not to break it, alright?
Somewhere, e. e. cummings is laughing at us.
I think I speak for the most of us… who cares?
Normally I would agree with you. However, if the people you speak of have read this far down the thread it’s fair to say they seem to care about something. Would you agree? Or perhaps the length of this thread merely reflects the general level of office boredom running rampant throughout modern western civilization.
OK, you’re right. Who cares?
well im not at an office, im infront of my tv and just cant be asked to do nothing while the adverts are on. bbut still i agree. nobody cares.
Ah, this is just great. Pedantic discourse on grammar is the perfect antidote to the freestyle spelling and syntax on the Icanhascheezburger comments page. Or perhaps it’s the other way round?
Icanhascheezburger vs Failblog… It’s the yin and yang of the internet
And yet both sites are owned by the same company.
it’s a company? i thought is was just some guy.
Erm, yes, and that’s why it’s so entertaining.
Obviousness fail.

There are so many spelling errors in these comments i’m starting to suspect moderators of mucking about to keep the discussion going. Then laughing in a sneaky manner at those idiot causing the comment numbers to grow exponentially and making failblog look popular.
I don’t suppose you think the government is honest?
I see wat u did dare…
it’s a shame when people can’t construct a sentence or paragraph in a public forum without using profanity to get their point across.
Yea, it’s a damn shame
I can’t believe I just read all of that.
It’s a waste of teh internet space *russian drunk accent*
Oh, snap!
Hmmm, I wonder if I can post my homework on this website, so that I don’t have to check the grammar myself?
Though, I must admit, this website is far more interesting than English class!
Spending fifteen minutes to read this list of comments is an epic fail. I could’ve invented a flying car by now but instead I’m sitting at my desk cruising the internet everyday reading fail comments. I take it all back, that’s actually a culture fail.
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” Is this sentence correct?
Yep. Looks good to me.
That would be “pocketknives”.
What spelling correction number would that be? Oh, yes. About your “5-I’m an ass-0th” correction. Now, run along, Meg, run along.
I don’t know how I read through to the end, probably cause I’m high, I suggest you all go and smoke too.
I fail therefore I am.

Failed Grammer Fail!
Grammer and spelling are just too easy to nitpick. Since its so easy to nitpick lower life forms are quick to pick up on them. Once lower life forms pick up on an easy target the cling to it tanaciously. There in lays the problem… Just factor in that once a lower life form discovers easy prey they settle in and breed more. Before long were the last air breathers… *Taps plays on a bugal in the distance*
Someone must have hit you over the head with that “good keyboard.”
And a word of advice: Don’t say any of what you were trying to verbalize in the presence of daylight; you sound like a drunk PedoBear.

Well, it was difficult. It was arduous. But, yes, I made it to the bottom of the page. Woot! Who woulda known that there’d be so many grammar sticklers on this website.
I say…. we’re all winners. If we believe in ourselves. *goes off to play in the sprinklers*
My claim to internet fame.

And I love cats, so no kitty-steaks, please.
Thank you.
THIS IS WHY SOMEDAY THE WORLD WILL DIE!
By the way, I just realized that this wasn’t part of the contest… so congratulations to all of the brilliant geniuses who decided to fight with bad-grammar-losers that have nothing else to do besides sit in front of a computer all day and decide to comment about RANDOM grammar corrections or usage and…
Oh wait! I forgot! THERE ARE NO GENIUSES BECAUSE WE (yes, we ALL) ARE SITTING IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER READING THE STUPIDEST SITE ON THE INTERNET! (No offense to failblog, but it is silly.) SO CONGRATS TO THE WORLD! THIS IS WHY YOU FAIL!
I wonder if these people are as mean in their everyday encounters as they are in their comments?
Nah, most of them don’t have have the balls to contradict anyone in real life.
Brittany, This movie clip will answer your…statement question thingy. whatever you want to call it.

What is a jew anyway?
For many years I wondered why the the world is the way it is…why no one ever fixes it.
Then I read this.
Oh well, at least we’ll all die laughing.
Indeed.
just an idea for 2 bumper-stickers or t-shirts
1 – All your Fail our belong two the failblog comment sextion

cant believe i just read all of these comments…..
ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
LOL. nuff said
I’m so adjective I verb nouns!
I have achieved enlightenment.
It’s called dyslexia.
I’m going to play frisbee.
The most talked language on the internet isn’t English.
And to be very honest, as long as they have not made a huge error it should not matter.
XD
I love how every single person up to this comment proved the point of the one called Gobby Bee.
P.S. What is with all the people saying it took them an hour to read to the bottom of the page? It only took me maybe 30 minutes. Does this mean that those who took so long to read the comments fail at reading?
I skipped the rest and read your comment. It just about sums it up.
This was very entertaining. I’m pretty immature, but that has it’s advantages. Everyone who acts their age wasted their time. I have a cramp from laughing. Totally worth it.
I read the first 6 comments, realized that you hipocrits were bickering about who’s better at spelling, grammar and crap, then came to the bottom of the page to post this: Who gives a sh*t about how you spell? You get the message, that’s all it matters. Why don’t you people do something better than criticise others’ flaws, get a job or something. Maybe certain person had a tough life growing up with alcoholic dad and coke addict mom and couldn’t eat unless they worked at a gas station, so school was not their priority. Soldiers getting blown up and you LOSERS are concerned about who’s better at SPELLING. Get a life.
Your right, everyone who is arguing about grammar should stop doing that and go end the war. C’mon guys, let’s GO!
Just because you don’t like intellectual conversations doesn’t mean others can’t. Seeing as I go to high school, I don’t get to have one very often. That also explains why I don’t go out and get a job.
Not to mention that grammar and spelling is important. For example, in your post you say “that’s all it matters”. What the heck is that supposed to mean. Did you forget a comma, and you meant “that’s all, it matters.”? Or did you mean “that’s all that matters.”?
You seem to think that we go and talk about grammar on the internet full time or something. It’s fun to have an argument about in my spare time. I don’t know what you like to do in your spare time, maybe drink and beer and lie on the couch? Sound like a good, healthy time.
See where making assumptions gets us?
You missed the question mark after “flaws”. Not that it matters or anything.
Wow.
That is all.
You go to FAILBLOG for intellectual conversation?
WOW…shut up! All of you guys are being so critical about grammar, spelling, etc.
I swear to god I thought goats could swim better than that.
I can’t believe I read all of that, I just wasted 10 minutes.
-.-
Aren’t comments supposed to be about the original blog post?
Nerds >.>
this is THE DUMBEST conversation i have ever heard!!
Holy Crap!
I got a long distance down this blog before I realized it was an actual blog, as opposed to a posting of epic burns. I was waiting for the “Epic Burn” to silence the idiots, but all I got were more idiots.
Yes, I am fully aware of the irony of my own post, but let me respond ahead of time by saying,
‘THE NEXT PERSON TO POST IS A CHILD-MOLESTER!’
THAT was a fail.
Epicly long grammar fight ftw!
what was this post about?
wowiddint no any1carrred ssomuch but :grammer?….
……..nerds i try to read fail blog and this ends up being like 30pages long cuz some fatfk wouldnt shut the hell up XD
lol jk
This has got to be the greatest gathering of inbred Internet Trolls EVER!!!
I mean, personally, I feel deeply honored to have witnessed this. Just look at the date of the first post ITT – TWO YEARS AGO!
This will surely go down in intertubes history as the “Woodstock of Grammar Nazis.”
Good Fail, guys. Fail on.
I have this down in my favorites as ” Grammar Nazi Convention.”
You can all thank Gobby Bee for that.
I just want to say one thing about all of that. Put down the Cheetos and go do something with your life besides act like my girlfriends douche
By saying that you yourself prove that you are the one eating the Cheetos.
Oh, and by the way, you left off a period.
Yes, I just went there.
I felt like posting an extremely random comment here. I decided to sit down until the feeling passed.
last comment ever… by the way the real failure was absolutely the editors of burn of the week who truly FAIL! everyone is a gay jew may seem offensive… how come no gay jews have commented against me? cuz they r not really that offended………………..
burn of the week goes to hemoroids!
