» 77 Failures in Communication

  1. Lukasz says:

    I “like” this “post”.

  2. Jefferson Bicycle says:

    “For” the peni’s examinations’.

  3. doobidoobidoo says:

    WTF???

  4. grannycatflap says:

    *food stamp’s*

  5. grannycatflap says:

    one “food” coming right up :twisted:

  6. Evertide says:

    Wha! Hey! Whoa! Be careful flinging those apostrophes and quotes around, Nobody! You could hurt somebody! You could hurt…YOURSELF.

  7. ism says:

    Why do so many people “think” they can use quotation marks anywhere?

    • HAha says:

      Because they don’t understand sarcasm even when it’s emphasized with quotation marks.

      I’m sure it’s also the same people who write “Would of”.

  8. eddy_hitler says:

    like anyone going in to redeem them will notice/care…

  9. La Ferme! says:

    To be fair, what “we” sell barely passes as “food.”

    It passes as sh!t... :P 
  10. Boog says:

    There was a sale on apostrophes and quotation marks at the sign shop.

  11. Jake says:

    does anyone get that “food” might be in apostrophes because what people buy with food stamps is 80% not edible?

  12. dan says:

    but “I” want’ to “use” cas’h

  13. JD says:

    That’s easy “we” don’t exist and it’s “food” in name only.

  14. digitalsciguy says:

    I’ve always wondered why there isn’t a task force aligned with the major authorities of the English language who dole out punishments for such abuse…

  15. Foreigner1 says:

    “Nudge” nudge – Wink ‘wink’ – Did he ask “knowingly”– Say “no” more….!

  16. Moose says:

    Omg, she was firing that watermelon and pulled it all the way back. But when she let it go it came back and hit her in the face! lol lol

  17. so-called “WE”
    accept (invisible contraction)
    so-called “FOOD”
    Stuff that belongs to the STAMP

  18. ZombieApocalypse - wearing a freshly laundered ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

    I’m guessing NS’s apostrophe collection is overflowing.

  19. Rehcsif says:

    Easily explainable.

    Only one guy works there, hence “We”

    The stuff they sell is way to crappy to be considered food, hence “food”

    People on food stamps tend to be dependent on them, so you might say the stamps own them, hence “stamp’s”

    And he had one extra quotation mark left over, since they only came in doubles, so he didn’t want it to go to waste, hence “accept’”

  20. Chairman Kaga says:

    Mister Language Person would be exceedingly proud of this sign.

  21. xxxxme says:

    Obviously, they just heard about apostrophes and quotation marks and are eager to use them.

  22. white rotten rabbit says:

    “Stupid” American’s

  23. SulZala says:

    It HURTS.

  24. Sarge says:

    Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more.

  25. Kurt says:

    Doesn’t matter, the dumbs**ts that get food stamps can’t speak proper english (if any at all) anyways

  26. satsumo says:

    “LOL”

  27. Shintarou says:

    I see no fail here. Clearly, they have other people there who “accept” (defined as “dispose of”) the semi-edible food-like product that belongs to the stamp.

  28. No1askedme says:

    I’m confused, are they being sarcastic?

  29. The Furry Herd says:

    AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! Get the bleach! GET THE BLEACH!!!!!! My eyes, they burn!!!!!!!!!!!!

    (Being a copyeditor in this day and age is beyond painful….)

  30. Marii says:

    ” ” ‘W’hat””s” “‘the’”" “proble’m” wit’h “q’uot’atio”n “ma’rks”? “Th’ey ar’e pr’et’t”y”"!” ” “

  31. smeghead17 says:

    does your “policy” cover “hustler’ magazine”?

    • Prince of Insufficient Light says:

      If by “policy” you mean “discharged semen”, then… no, that’s just wrong. Shame on you for asking such a question.

  32. NAR says:

    Just because you accept food stamps doesn’t mean you have to let food stamp recipients make your signs.

  33. Other Guy says:

    Any bets that English is not the first language of the store?

  34. Ando says:

    But not really.

  35. Wizardling says:

    What’ “the” !@#$ “is” this’?

  36. vermont says:

    “We” as described by “them”….food stamps have possesion?….strange….and probably foreign

  37. Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to mention that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your weblog posts. In any case I will be subscribing on your rss feed and I am hoping you write again soon!
