No-Grammar Note
Mr. M. and I returned to our car after a lovely dinner. Stuck in the driver's window of the big truck next to us was a note that read, "YOU PARKED CRAPY." Now, that note-writer had some nerve. The first thing I noticed was the misspelling of crappy. If you're going to leave a note like that, you should at least be orthographically correct. To get more technical about it, the note was also grammatically incorrect. "Crap[p]y" here is modifying the parking job, telling the guy HOW he parked; therefore, it should have read "crappily." Two strikes. This bad speller, bad grammar guy has no business leaving notes . . . even if they are true. It was a bad parking job.

Very goodly written.
Do you know if the one who did that poor job of parking goes to GCC? We've seen some do a bad job of parking there.
I like it, my funnily awesome friend.
I HEAR YOU! I FEEL YOU! I can't stand Apple's slogan, "think different."
It drives me up the wall!
That would be enough to make me buy an HP.
