You would think if one where to go through the trouble to make a large sign, they might want to consult a dictionary first. By the Bye, my favorite is the women who wants to make English our OFFICAL language and does that have anything to do with poop?

You know, when I was in high school, it was written on the bathroom wall that a good friend of mine was a "which" who consorted with (and no, it was not put that politely) "Saten." So when I see a sign like that, I'm reminded that there is a reason we have age thresholds for office. It's not good to allow 16YOs to run the country. Whether that represents physical or mental age.

I find it kind of funny when someone makes it a point to criticize others use of the language and then their own post contains errors.

I find the occasional flub as funny as the next guy. But I understand English isn't everyone's first language and I understand everyone isn't as good at it as everyone else. Also I find as I get older my spell checkers seem to fail more often. Probably not because they're malfunctioning, but because I'm trying to look so smart and using bigger words. :)

Proper English would be to say either "woman who wants" or "women who want" rather than "women who wants". You've also combined a statement and a question in a single sentence.

Nerd.... :D

I thought it was going to be "if one where to go."

[JediKnight]

Yes, I misspelled woman. I suppose that does make me as stupid as the Tea Baggers.

[longleaf]

At least you didn't misspell misspell.

[Starbuck]

No, because you didn't spell "woman" "b a r e f o o t a n d p r e g n a n t."

Any one can make an occasional spelling mistake, whether a Tea Party member or a Jedi Knight, it's no real indication of intelligence or a lack there of.

I love those 2 guys who go around the country correcting signs and would love to join them. Don't people ever proofread their stuff? Guess I'm a spelling nerd.

Yes, this was my point.

Hilarious. :D

Spelling mistakes aside there is a message contained in those signs, maybe that is the more important issue to consider.

[naturenut]

And what would the errors be?

"if one where to go through the trouble"

Should be "were"

Everyone's entitled to an error now and then, or maybe not??

Karma's a bit*h

LOL! I saw the multiple errors myself.
