second
Fail, first for being a doush and second for posting any kind of reference to “FIRST”
You is an idiot.
First I ROFL’d and then I LOL’d and then took a bite of ma cheezburger and then I ROFL’d again you is tickling me to death! I is almost to choke on ma cheezburger!
You is not second dude oh boy oh boy!
You is FIRST! dude you is cracking me up.
After reading this ‘you is’ actually sounds pretty good.
douche spelling fail
First capital letter fail.
making a difference between unintended spelling mistake and intended usage of small letters only on the internet fail
oh, by the way, omitting the full stop at the end of a non-sentence fail (and that would actually also be a reason not to capitalize the first letter.. blah, whatever)
All your base are belong to us.
I second this.
I second this.
I only typed this once
But you’ve failed twice !
lol
in Imperial Russia we failed an infinate number of times … twice … that’s why we turned to communism
I second this!
I second this a third time!
I thirds this a forth time.
YAY! half the effort twice the fail!
You do know, that you forgot a full stop as well adskfjö.
aaah right, dammit! no, wait, damn it!
Arguing on the Internet fail (which also constitutes a redundant fail)
Hey, commitization and even sometimes apostrophication is hard! :p
MS Word does this all the time
I second that.
Douche spelling fail.
sixteenth!
LOL speak epic win
Seconded.
thirdinated
fourtified.
bottle of liquored
Stop trying to fail people. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET THE BURN OF THE WEEK NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
Maybe we could just pour fuzz’z liquor bottle on you and torch your sorry, jealous ass.
And then you can scream “ooo” in pain.
that would make him a flaming fifth
he should have settled for being sexed
(i find it’s a pleasure being ate, by the way)
Obligatory FiRsT!!!! :/
Well… That’s Microsoft’s US English for you…
that story is poorly written anyway. maybe it’s trying to help dumb it down
Ugh, I just threw up a little in my mouth just reading the oddly written bit in the spell check. That better have been a parody style writing there, or man and machine have obliterated my faith in literature.
Mafia spell-check win
Is you talking to me?
hahah FAIL xD
LOL I can do any fails in word grammar. Just add misspelled word to dictionary.
did you know that gullible isn’t in the dictionary?
did you know that you is not in the dictionary?
orly?
nice one, by the way. i lol’d
?! I’ze not in the dikshunary?!!
:O
…I still exist tho, right??
Wow, it really isn’t. Check it out!
neither is gullible.
But U won’t get the right one outta there, or is I wrong!?
From what I understand, the grammar check is independent of your custom dictionaries. But then again, it’s been so long since I’ve misspellt a word…
It’s spelt “misspelt,” kiddo. Nice try.
hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
I typed this exact passage in Word and it corrected me the same way, heh. I think it’s the “what” that throws it off.
It doesn’t fail in OpenOffice. Opensource software WIN.
oh, let me see. oops, OpenOffice just crashed…
Lol!
OpenOfficefail
CloseOffice win!
XD Best I’ve heard all day!
I think the thing that went wrong is that it’s written “you´re” instead of “you’re” (using an accent instead of a apostrophe), or atleast that’s what it looks like to me.
Actually, it’s trying to make the verb agree with the first subject of the sentence.
There’s nothing in the punctuation to offset the little joke here as an independent clause, so word is trying to match ‘you’re’ with ‘He.’
The real fail here is the horrible, almost run on sentence here. I think this is the first ‘Quotation mark splice’ I’ve ever seen.
Yes, the fail is the sentence itself.
Isn’t it also because “neither” is singular and there’s no comma after it?
It Is Not, It’s Not or It Isn’t?
Or double up with It’sn’t
what a fake
Of course it’s a fail – it’s an American spellcheck. That isn’t even a language.
coherent story fail
what? this wasn’t supposed to here. it was supposed to be added to the end of the page. failblog usage fail.
wow i’m just on a fail roll right now, aren’t i?
You sure is.
Win.
I concur. Win.
concurssion.
-what you get from failing on your head.
try this with English (UK) and you will find the same results
that’s because it was progrmmed to Essex/South London speak
Definitely says “English.”
meh
Not fake. This is the Southern version of Microsoft Word.
I was going to suggest that.
Us’s down here in the redneck part of de world talks lik dat, we fail
gangster talk fail
southern talk fail
Y’all come back now, ya hear ?
x2 Fail
Fail-Tality!
failing spree
Over-Fail!
flawless failure
Crushing win
Failblog fail… I nested beyond the nest possibilities
photoshop!
FAIL-ful Victory!
I protest the comment regarding the version of word as being “southern.” I beleive the correct localized dialect for the phrase “you is” would be Ebonics, in the same family of phrases as the “we be…”
The Southern version would use “y’all”
example “…niether, because I still haven’t figure out what y’all talkin’ ’bout…”
Come on, Billy Bob, the correct spellings are:
“believe”,
“neither”,
and
“y’all’re”.
WIN.
Loss
Who the hell says “Ya’ll’re” ?
You obviously ain’t from these parts.
y’all = you all
example fail
“y’all” = singular, and “all y’all” = plural in super podunk south
The freedom to say ya’ll is the best thing about being Southern. Why waste breath on “all of you” or “you all”? We’re even smart enough to have one word for the plural: allayall (translation: all of ya’ll). I’ve noticed people in other parts of the country starting to use ya’ll, despite the risk of being thought Southern. After all, being Southern means being stupid because that’s a prejudice everyone’s still allowed to have. Put some color in your life! Raise some eyebrows! Say ya’ll!
Southern = Ebonics?
all they needed to do was add “you is” as the correction to “you’re”. no big fail here. I made “it” correct as “penis” at school once. never got caught either.
I once worked with a lady who had an unfortunate spellchecker correction: it didn’t know what “Pentium” was, so it replaced it with “penis.” So out went her auto-corrected email about a 500MHz penis….
bwahaha- but that’s what she gets for putting her trust in a machine
maybe she was just boasting about the speed of her vibrator?
You can hear her coming a mile away haha!
I now have beer on my computer screen. Thanks.
That time, it is wrong. It is 3:40 here where I am.
they have these things called time zones…
Yeah, yeah, I know. For some reason drinking a beer at nearly four is better than dinking a beer at only nearly two. Don’t know why. Blame it on my religious upbringing.
Drinking a beer is good no matter what the time. It’s 5:00 somewhere, right?
I work a night shift, so if I feel like a beer after a long day at work, I’m having that beer at 8 in the morning.
Glad I could help. =P
i have the updated version … a 1GHz pennis
Wow. You’re a true rebel.
not so much a rebel as boredom in the middle of english class lol
WIN. That is truly epic.
My mom put deer musk in the ventilating system at her high school once.
I put my penis in your mom.
It’s a wonder you could even find it.
WIN!
Wait, Find your mom, or his penis?
I put my penis i nthe ventilation system. it was as funny….
that’s because nobody cared or noticed.
Own’t – but too easy to stage…
free post
Ill take 3!
n—–i——g——g——e——r spellcheck
Go die.
God fail
Let me Axe you a Kestion.
That he’d let someone so racist continue to exist? Agreed.
racist nutcheck
I doubt it, the last time he checked his nuts he didn’t have any.
RACIST!
no joke this time.
Holy crap, you DO realize it’s not 1860 anymore, right?
How is what he said any different than what the above people meant when they said ebonics fail? Where was your shock when the above people posted? Way to jump on the bandwagon, you lemming.
but the n word is forbidden…
so is your face
Not if ‘you is’ a [n-word]. It is forbidden to white people however.
Unless they’re rappers, apparently.
How is any form of it acceptable? its just as dumb as when people use the term “cracker” and have no idea where the term came from…ignorant asses, For those that think the word is ok to use. check it out…
Why should I be shocked about ‘Ebonics’? It was a term developed to describe the ‘Urban’ way of speaking, and has nothing to do with race or color. There was once even a debate about teaching Ebonics in the American public school system. For you to infer that ‘only black people speak Ebonics’ and I should be outraged at that is more racially-isolating than anything I upon which I ommitted to comment. Therefore, you, sir, are an idiot. Go away.
ebonics comes from the word ebony, a black wood. I’m sure it’s completely coincidental that it is used to describe a black, i mean, urban way of speaking.
I realize what the root-word is. However, it has evolved, and is much more widespread.
I just don’t see how someone referring to the phrase being used in ‘Ebonics’ was supposed to shock and startle me just as badly or worse than the blatant use of the ‘n’ word, or how I am supposedly a lemming for being offended by the N-word, but not Ebonics. It’s not even an appropriate comparison.
oh, i agree. it’s just the whole “it’s not black, it’s “urban”" thing is, well, c’mon.
it sounds more p.c. thats all, i got mugged in the Urban part of town.
it just sounds more p.c. “I got mugged in the Urban part of town”
I’m still having issues with “good surprised” and “bad surprised”. I think I understand what the writer was trying to do, but he FAILED at doing it.
good surprised = i am surprised because i have received one million dollars
bad surprised = you have surprised me by stabbing me in the face
just because you can’t understand it, doesn’t mean the other person is stupid.
zing
I lol-ed!
Good surprise (no d) and bad surprise (no d).
SurpriseD in a positive way (good surprised, i.e. a good kind of surprised), or likewise in a negative way. No, it’s not exactly flowery, flowing prose, but there’s no need to be obtuse; it’s just somebody writing the way somebody might actually talk. OMFG, stop the bloody presses.
Why don’t you get off your pedestal long enough to read my first post in which I said I think I understand but the writer failed at doing it correctly. It had nothing to do with flowery, flowing prose, but everything to do with making it understood by those who may not get it.
Speaking of obtuse: Hello, Pot? This is Kettle. You’re black.
I’m not sure the writer was planning on teaching remedial reading comprehension classes.
win.
First we have racist posters, and now racist cookware. When will it all end?
Kettle please.
You’re black too.
My kettle’s silver…..
As is my pot come to think about it.
My pot is green.
Pete? Pete Doherty? Is it really you?
Nah, you want ward C, room 502
you have surprise me, i am so surprise, look jane look! look how surprise i am!
please to look up difference between noun and verb
her face is not a surprise
her face has a surprised look upon it reflecting feelings of of a) good b) bad or c) wtf
Too bad this has nothing to do with what was posted.
Durr.
it’s in response to you being an idiot. which you continue to win at.
i don’t plot out the location of message responses or your lame attempts at insults, wit and comprehension.
again, you not understanding something doesn’t make the other person an idiot.
Yawn. You bore me. Go away.
Hey dude – she’s a girl – don’t flame her… fawn over her!
Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. That’s bad surprised.
Now imagine posting a comment soliciting pictures of underage lolitas and receiving the response “I love you” from a fetching heroine. That’s good surprised.
i read your post as “felching heroine” which suprised whether it is good suprised or bad suprised I am still trying to glean
Dude, that’s not even romantic.
Don’t you see me making my move here? You’re totally failing as my wingman.
Hee…”fetching”–or various forms of it–seems to be your favorite word these days, fuzz.
But you only get ONE “ftw” for it (see previous thread).
Now you’ve gone and bemused me (see current thread).
At least I didn’t besmirch you (see every single thread on this blog).
Goose! Goose!!!!!
total protonic reversal?
Okay, so we don’t cross the streams.
Ray, when somebody asks you if you’re a god… you say YES!
Ghostbusters!!!!! I love that movie!
You suck. Great sub-threads until you just had to go and be all BLAH BLAH, I LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS! I’M SPECIAL! LOVE ME FOR TELLING EVERYONE HOW I FEEL ABOUT GHOSTBUSTERS!
Um, sweetheart, looks like you’re still having issues with “good surprised” and “bad surprised”.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Come on, that WAS lame, was it not? If someone on the next thread about the camera all of a sudden said, “Horses! I love that animal!” Wouldn’t you wonder WTF s/he was smoking?
Yeah, that would sad; they shoot lame horses.
They do make a medication for that, you know.
What do you expect GrammarCheck to do with such a crap sentence, anyhow.
Suggestions:
Throw this novel in the garbage.
Don’t quit your day job.
Put your head in the oven.
Don’t be mean now…
I liked teh novel!
Kinda turned me on n stuff.
I am sure they end up having sex afterwards. What could be wrong with that? ;p
Well…GOOD surprised would be “the sex was great and everyone was happy.” BAD surprised would be “the sex was pathetic, the main character contracted a venereal disease and ended up pregnant.”
You’re downright fetching when you talk dirty.
*bats eyelashes*
And no…I’m not just telling you my sign….
i think bad surprised would be something more along the lines of “The beautifully well-endowed woman took off her pants to reveal she was actually a very well- endowed man.”
“I still haven’t any figured out what you’re talking about” surprised would be “Ohdamn, when the hell did that happen? Last time I drink 8 glasses of shnapps on a damn cruise.” Either that or they’re a virgin who wasn’t paying attention.
What if it is his/her day job… he/she will life-fail.
all this case would do is render his 3rd suggestion redundant
“What do you expect GrammarCheck to do with such a crap sentence, anyhow[?]”
could’ve used some help myself.
you is a failure!
I’m trying to glean from those comments whether this is a good fail, a bad fail, or a “neither because I still haven’t figured out you all is talking about” fail.
WIN.
I think there’s a word missing here.
Willis?
I still haven’t figured out what you talkin’ ’bout.
about soviet Russia perhaps
“is you is or is you ain’t my baby now?” from some Screamin’ Jay Hawkins recording…
damn, you beat me to it
You are what you is
That depends on what your definition of “is” is.
Nice one!
lol
WIN
You is what you am
I yam what I yam – Popeye the Sailor Man
a cow don’t make ham
>_< That’s why I just check it myself instead of letting Microsoft do it for me.
>_< is not a word by the way. microsoft would’ve caught that.
It’s an internet emoticon. I use it at the beginning or the end of some internet posts. Use common sense when seeing things on the internet. The actual sentence had no errors. Neither does this post.
>_<
You just don’t get it do you son?
top right corner messed up.
Paintbrush FAIL!
jpg artifact init?
haha, no it’s not. i fail.
you’re welcome.
That’s what happens when someone saves anything as a Jpeg file… if you had bothered to read the commentary, you would see that “Curious” above had tested it and received the same result. Attention Span Fail.
in all fairness, it does say ‘English (U.S.)’ in the title
It’s not the grammar that is wrong, or it would only appear “you’re” in the check. It’s the sentence construction that the program is showing as wrong.
Also Word FAIL.
grammar
n.
The study of how words and their component parts combine to form sentences.
“It’s not the grammar that is wrong…. it’s the sentence construction…”
*ahem*
it’s like mr. t is spellchecking your stuff.
My god.. have we finally found the source of all the grammatically faily comments across this site?
no
screen capture fail.
An Adventurer Is You!
Someone set up us the book.
you is in need to read more in order to be able to write a text without checking for spelling/grammar
It’s an even worse Grammar Checker than me…and I’m pretty good at it!
… “than I”. (-:
you’re welcome.
i’m not sure, but i think you’re wrong. TENTATIVE FAIL!
Commitment to call “FAIL” FAIL.
Indeed. “I” is the subjective form, i.e., the form used when the word is the subject of the clause. EX: “I think you should check your facts before commenting.” By contrast, “me” is the objective form, i.e., the form used when the word is the object of the clause. EX: “When you correct others, it irritates me.” Here’s a little trick to remember which is which: if you would use “we” in a plural sentence, use “I”; if you would use “us,” use “me.” EX: “You are a worse grammar cheker than I”; “You are a worse grammar checker than WE” is clearly wrong – you would say “You are a worse grammar checker than US,” which is the objective form – so the correct statement is “You are a worse grammar checker than ME.” Or “You is a worse grammar checker,” apparently.
so…
FAIL confirmed?
Yes, dear.
Definitely a fake, look at the top right corner… Photoshop fail…
word 2003 didn’t find any problems with the sentence either…definitely a fake.
I use Word 2003 and the same correction appears when I type the sentence in…However, no grammar mistake is found if you don’t type anything else after the sentence. Word is weird…there’s no doubt.
Ebonics WIN
the grammar is correct when the final word “surprised” is omitted.
Fail for even using grammar ckecker
It’s ‘U.S.’ English so the fail is inevitable.
JPEG image compression algorithm win.
50 Cent dialect WIN
you is mah hoe, aiigh?
Did Dan Brown write that?
The *actual* fail is that the grammar check doesn’t complain about the missing comma.
“He tried to glean from her face whether this was good surprised, bad surprised or “neither, because I still haven’t figured out what you’re talking about” surprised.” is correct and not flagged by the grammar check.
Well, that is the actual fail and the fact that the person who took the screenshot didn’t put in the comma.
wait, computers can has check spell? when computers will have “this is too old to eat” check? i could use one in my fridge
Funny. Actually I’ve learned on english classes that when “you’re” talking in singular, then should be written as “you is”, not “you are”.
“FailBlogCommenter, you is going to die today” -> correct
“FailBlogCommenter, you are going to die today” -> also correct, but grammatically wrong
“FailBlogCommenter, you is wrong” -> corrent
“FailBlogCommenter, you are wrong” -> also correct, also grammatically wrong
“FailBlogCommenterS, you are all damn freaking wrong” -> Undeniably correct
I’d ask for a refund.
Reading this comment written by you is making me dumber.
Woah, I used “you is” correctly!
NonEnglishNativeSpeaker, the verb “to be”, in english, is an irregular verb. Let me show you.
First person singular: I am. First person plural: We are.
Second person singular: You are. Second person plural: You are.
Third person singular: He/She/It is. Third person plural: They are.
not a fail, dependin where you is from
Funny. Actually I’ve learned on english classes that when “you’re” talking in singular, then should be written as “you is”, not “you are”.
“FailBlogCommenter, you is going to die today” -> correct
“FailBlogCommenter, you are going to die today” -> also correct, but grammatically wrong
“FailBlogCommenter, you is wrong” -> correct
“FailBlogCommenter, you are wrong” -> also correct, also grammatically wrong
“FailBlogCommenterS, you are all damn freaking wrong” -> Undeniably correct
and who did you learn english from?
the same place he learned non-duplicate posting from?
maybe there’s an echo in here?
Well, if you had learned IN English class, rather than ON English class, then you might not sound so stupid.
His/her incorrect English is understandable and probably much better than if you were attempting a post in whichever language they happen to speak.
The fail there is the teacher.
THat’s so not getting burn of the week…
…You should fire your teacher
My big hobby is writing short stories. It helps to have previous education in grammar and spelling so you don’t start trusting Microsoft all the time.
It’s a gangsta spellcheck.
ROFLMAO!!!
Fail check fails.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Fail-check has spoken. Quite frankly.
‘You is all rong.”
All hail the Microfail producers… And pity the fools who actually correct this sentence
sadly somewhere out there there is an American going what the hell is wrong with this?
I agree, people from other countries suck!
i bet they all are saying that about you too. don’t feel bad.
How about FAIL for writing a cheesy, kind-of run-on sentence?
Perfect example of racist spell check.
Thou shalt never trust spell and grammar checkers. Use a dictionary if you must.
I did type in the same long sentence on Word and did confirm the results.
To be honest, the entire sentence is grammatically awkward so it’s not surprising that Grammar Check had problem correcting the syntax.
better make that “english, (southern US)”
I dont see the problem with it, simple to work out the spell check now comes in english or jive talk. you is all kinds of crazy ya heard…
Maybe it’s Microsoft Word for Lolcatz
it DID say “English (U.S.)”
actually, thats really bad grammar to begin with, no wonder you confused the program.
That crafty Windows it’s always out to get you. You is failed much?
Wow, you’re all so disappointingly failing.
That was the correct suggestion.
Type this whole sentence in with CORRECT grammar and it will not even make a suggestion for “you’re”
Here is how it should read – type this in MSWORD and you will not get any suggestions:
He tried to glean from her face whether this was good surprised, bad surprised, or, “neither, because I still haven’t figured out what you’re talking about,” surprised.
Failures.
try actually typing this on word. It does the same thing, so you know, this is real.
Which checker is this?
You know, probably the best part of that is the fact that it’s checking U.S. English…
you all just flat out fail
maybe you fail
Is Jar Jar Binks working for Windows again?
woot, 289th
gangsta check… lol
I had that problem too, I just had to turn black mode off.
obviously photoshopped
yeah, the reflections are all wrong
Microsoft word….for blacks. jk lol im not racist sort of….
what you is talkin’ ’bout, willis?
looks like spell/grammar check needs a spell/grammar check.
OMFG
this sh*t happens to me ALL THE TIME! bill gates must have been high or something.
Fake… you can program your computer to make things out of the dictionary,
this just makes me sad
I is seeing a fail here.
- Start a sentence beginning with ‘I’.
- ‘I is’…
- No, you must say ‘I AM’.
- Okay… ‘I AM the ninth letter of the alphabet.’
nice web
hehe
and you say computers never make mistakes?
