Seriously, I had a friend who would say, Can't see the farce for the trees.

A I may have mentioned earlier in this thread, if I open a restaurant menu and there's a typo on it, the typo will jump off the page within seconds.

Last night I went to an Italian place with a friend with whom I went to a very strict secretarial school nearly 35 years ago. I opened the menu, immediately spied a typo, and asked her if she still notices misspellings and punctuations errors on menus, too. She said, "Cavtelli"?

Hahaha, I saw that one, too. Also saw a thread title about Amanda Knox being "aquitted".

I just spotted this one in a Relationships thread:

"If not that would exclaim some of your resentment towards her."

Just now read this one:
"Please come back when you have something of value to add instead of just insulating that I am a horrible human being because I am sick of being asked to take care of people who cant (and mostly don't want) to take care of themselves."
