Thread Name: BS: World's best grammatical howlers
Subject: RE: BS: World's best grammatical howlers
Fairly often in posts to Freecycle, the person offers a "Three draw chest" -- I don't know if it's just a New England habit to not enunciate the two syllables in "drawer", but that is a result of New England (Maine, New Hampshire, probably some Massachusetts and Vermont as well) dialect. Makes one wonder if anyone besides my friends and myself actually read anymore.

Then one day I came in to work (at an optical shop I occasionally fill in at, owned by the same company as my primary place of employment) and found a note from my 25 year old shop manager saying "the keys are in the draw"...

Uh huh.
