Subject: RE: BS: World's best grammatical howlers
Nickhere, in the local paper there was a daily column which pointed out the type of things you posted. While there were a few photo examples of inappropriate spelling and/or syntax, or just a compilation, it turned out that most had to do with folks for whom English was not their primary language--if it was their language at all. After awhile, I just stopped reading them, because it seemed, somehow, mean spirited to me. His column did not survive the 15% cutback at the paper.

Of course I Love Lucy made a career out of Desi's bad grammar and mis-pronunciations.
