Does anyone else LOVE when they find english fail? For those who don't know, english fail is an attempt at spelling something [in english] correctly, or using the correct punctuation when it is really false, and then advertising it whether it be on their store window, or a candy machine, on a bumper, etc, so has anyone else seen it?

here's an example i found yesterday, they spelled raisins "raisans" it was on a candy machine in the mall

and one a korean couple put on their store window

Failed spelling for the win.

We all do it, so we may as well laugh about it

Tell me about it. Specially now that I am not in school I can miss spell a word and just get lazy and not change it.

The longer you are away from school, the easier it is to spell incorrectly.

Thankfully, Firefox has a spell-check function, which saves my bacon more often than not! :twisted:

I hate bad English and spelling.. you should've seen my school's yearbook this year. SO MANY MISTAKES! It's painful to read. For example:

"They tried there best"

They spelled a bunch of names wrong.

GAH!

It makes me angry.

There's a store near where I live called "Cheaper Than Cheaper". Their slogan, copied verbatim:

"Smile, your saving. alot of money."

Quotation marks and all.

I remember some mistakes in English class. Many years ago we had to translate 'Grasshopper' ('Saltamontes') into English, so my schoolmate wrote 'Hopmonts'.
And last year, a different mate had to write 'I agree you', which in Spanish is 'Estoy de acuerdo contigo'. And he wrote this: 'I am offcourse with you'.
