Announcing Grammar Fail(ure) — grammarfail.com
In the wake of Monday’s horrible “grammar fail” sighting, I am pleased to announce Grammar Fail(ure), based on the social CMS Pligg!
Post your sightings, vote up new contributions, and discuss grammatical errors.
Educational institution punctuation fail.
I just sent this email to the U of M Student Financial Operations office. Does that me a jerk?
Hello,
Thanks for making it so easy to pay online. I do have a complaint, though.
On the Make Payment page of the QuickPAY ASP system, there is a sentence that says:
“Note: This screen is for Student Account payments only – Not for Enrollment Deposit’s!”Never mind the somewhat sporadic capitalization and the use of a hyphen where there should be an em dash (I’m something of a stickler) — the apostrophe in “Deposit’s” should not be there.
Thank you!
-Noah
