First, I have one question: Why can't people spell the word "whose" anymore?

And my caption is:

"Hey! Whose shoe do I have to crap in around here to get served?"

I love these pictures, but my old English & Latin teacher, Mrs. Worcester, is always in my ear when I read them...she loathed such misspellings and grammar mistakes and never missed an opportunity to point them out. The one that sticks with me is "Winston takes good like a cigarette should" ought to be as a cigarette should. But, I confess, I don't like the proliferation of silly spellings for captions any more than she would have. Personal preference and, as I said, I do enjoy the photos!

This one? "Play it again, Sam?"

If you read the comments on the lolcats web site, you will see that most of the posters have a running joke about apostrophes. Some very literate people enjoy mangling the language on that site. Knowing correct grammar is essential to "getting" all the humor posted there.

As an example, this is from the comments on lolcats under this "cat in the bar" photo:

"Sayin who's insted of whose is totly inekskyoozable, even fur lolcats.

Dachannian is ryte ob korse anywun fluent in lolspeek noes dat the prawper spellin is 'Huze'."

Ah ha! This opens the way to my asking this question: Where did people get the idea that cats are illiterate, have heavy accents and use ungrammatical sentence construction?

It is my opinion that far from being that, cats are erudite and have great disdain for the willingness of dogs to kowtow to humans' expectations.

LH - I'm with you... what is it with 'loose' instead of 'lose'?

There's an advert for mouthwash doing the rounds in the UK at the moment, where the strap line loudly declares 'wake up your mouth!'... drives me nuts to the point of shouting at the posters on the Tube.

'Karbeep, another vermouse please!'

I get it, esp. in view of the Spawspeak and Bobertspeak we have around here, but what bothers me is there are kids looking at those, kids who use abbreviated language to text, who are not learning correct spellings and grammar. This according to several teachers I've spoken with recently. It's cute, I guess, but I'd prefer the more erudite felinespeak as Ebbie notes.:-)

I think it is texting that is dumbing down youngsters language skills, not lolcats.
The average lolcat viewer is a 50age something female (who probably has a liberal arts degree).

I agree about texting, Alice. The cigarette ads weren't supposed to be for kids, either, but they saw them. I know, I am just being a pedant, today.:-)

A horse canters up to the bar and orders a martini.
The barkeep serves the martini saying, "that'll be seventeen-fifty."
The horse gives him a twenty.
When the barkeep brings the change he tells dobbin, "Ya know, we don't get many horses in this place."
"At these prices, I know I won't be back," replies the horse.

Can we recycle the old "Gin And Cat-atonic" joke here again (Chased with a Catnip & Tuck)?

"Well, here's Mudcat in yer eye!"

"Feed the kitty, or I'll up your auntie!"

A cute cat walks into a bar and sits down next to a flea.
The flea asks, "You come in here often?"
