Tried to rep you, but ...
I so totally agree with this definition!

How many times must a new word be used before it is put in the dictionary?

Sign on a restaurant I tried to visit the other day:

"Closed today. Sorry for the Inconvience"

My friend and I agreed that it was damned inconvient.

Also:

Having other people pack and label boxes of our stuff for a move produced some good ones. Apparently we own:

Tupaware (that's Tupperware. I didn't know what it was until I opened the box)
nick nacks
medisine
underware
and some boxes labeled to go in the "grauge".

This was posted on a local forum - details changed to protect the guilty. This is someone who says he/she has an MBA!

"How is the Job Market doing in the economy. Im originally from BC Canada. I have a dual citizenship. I am currently in Florida post MBA, out of work 2 years and counting. Im think about going back to the your area how are you guys holding up right now? is everyone doing ok or is there mass unemployment?"

Sheesh!

Don't know if I posted this earlier, but I work in the real estate field.

My all time favorite was on a listing sheet: Jealousy Windows.


You can't make this stuff up!!!

I thought this one was cute, from a thread about one of the hurricane-damaged transit systems in New York:

why should they wave fairs?

What was really funny was that he was responding to a post that spoke about waiving fares and it was spelled correctly. He even quoted it in his post, then went on to misspell the words.
