Hmmm...

I saw this response to a post of a picture on a friend's Facebook wall.

Skillz

I know I really shouldn't be suprised by the piss-poor writing and language skills of our population, but this is ridiculous! I lifted this off a message board:

"I the Man all this for little ole me :-) why thanks.... You on all that stuff okay thats good an all, But I don't really care as I said the first time kids went there an now my sisters kids go there also.So what was up when they were having the ceremonies at school an my sisters best friend as well as her Aunt weren't allowed to go in because they didn't have children there?Its one big fire hazard also the way they have the entry as well as the gates locked all the time. Oh well like I told my sister to each his own.Well have to pack off to Spain again you would think I would get used to it by now.Talk back at ya'll in amonth or so"

USFidelis

It seems automobile warranty company USFidelis needs to find an ad agency that is true to English grammar rules. Here are two snapshots of a commercial I saw on television today (Credit to Dear Shelley for alerting me!), and one I found on the USFidelis web site.

An apostrophe might be in order here.

Hyphenate it or make it two words.

Wasn't this covered in a remedial punctuation lesson in fourth grade?
