Word Up


I rarely laugh about other people's spelling or grammar because I make so many mistakes. I'll make an exception for this painfully tortured sentence I saw in an email the other day. I took some liberty to re-write the quote, both the spare the sender and to remove some specific references which aren't germane to the grammar.

I under stand and I are going to contact management.

The space between the words "under" and "stand" is lifted directly from the original quote. You should know that this passes the MS Word Spelling and Grammar checker. I would file a bug, but I don't have a day to spend trying to figure out where to send my bug/enhancement request to.

I'll really have egg on my face if one of my loyal readers explains how this is indeed proper English.

He should get fired for that sentence.
