"Blame all the perferresers in the arts."

I hope y'all have seen this guy's writing over in Politics. He is in the "School trashed lunches..." thread and has written the above word quite a few times in his rambling, badly written posts. He really means professors.

I've come across some whose writings are so consistently atrocious that I don't bother bringing examples here unless they're amusing.
I doubt it's acceptable to post a users name so as to access all their posts

Makes you wonder how he says it.

Default I am mailing you my aunt and uncle and 3 of their children

A cousin with whom I share an interest in genealogy emailed me these today:

... excerpts from actual letters sent to the Family History Department, Salt Lake City, Utah.

I have a hard time finding myself in London. If I were there I was very small and cannot be found.

This family had 7 nephews that I am unable to find. If you know who they are, please add them to the list.

Will you please send me the name of my first wife? I have forgotten her name.

Our 2nd great-grandfather was found dead crossing the plains in the library.

He and his daughter are listed as not being born.

I would like to find out if I have any living relatives or dead relatives or ancestors in my family.

Will you send me a list of all the Dripps in your library?

My Grandfather died at the age of 3.

We are sending you 5 children in a separate envelope.

Documentation: Family Bible in possession of Aunt Merle until the tornado hit Topeka, Kansas. Now only the Good Lord knows where it is.

I am mailing you my aunt and uncle and 3 of their children

The wife of #22 could not be found. Somebody suggested that she might have been stillborn--what do you think?

Enclosed please find my Grandmother. I have worked on her for 30 years without success. Now see what you can do!

"My target in West Hollywood is definatley upscale. We dont even have a walmart here, but the few ive ever been to are horrifying."

The poster's grammar is more horrifying.

In the automotive subforum, a poster disagreed with a premise by saying "This makes zero since !!!!!!" (Exclamation points his).

I sat here last night trying to pronounce what he wrote and I just can't do it. I actually tried to read the word he wrote (instead of what he meant) in the sentence and kept chuckling because I would stumble over perferrrreerrrsserrr - however it was spelled.

"..... movement presents on possible miss leading research."

Women should certainly have as much of a chance as men to be leaders.
