Our Reason for Existence ...

Welcome to the Slaughtered English Blog.

I originally created a website called SlaughteredEnglish.com to post all the horrific examples of mispelling and painful grammar that I see each and every day online.


This is my pet peeve, and I am not even an English major (nor do I possess a college degree for that matter), yet it just MAKES ME GO BESERK ... (Movie quote ... can you remember which movie? Guess it right and I will send you a free bar of Shea & Goatmilk soap ).


I couldn't take it any longer so I decided to start saving some of these examples and posting them publicly (no identifying information of course, and some are actually from my relatives ... sigh).


We all make errors here and there, miss a letter, use the wrong punctuation - that is a given (I am sure I will get posts about my misuse of these ... dots.

(sorry, but I just love them).


My big issue is the absolutely jaw dropping misuse of the language by people who have made it all the way into adulthood and still don't know the difference between their and there, here and hear, etc. And those are mild examples. Some of them are incredible, especially the misuse of commonly used phrases where people mix a few of them together, with hilarious results.


Enjoy, and send me your horror stories.

NEW NONSENSE !

Boy, it just keeps getting better and better !

=======================
..."it ubsorbed the color without a problem" - Is that like "uber" absorbed or something ??

"That is me whaling down the hall" - What ? Whaling ? I thought that was banned in most countries, whales are endagered you know. Wailing yes, Whaling no
