Grammatical errors

Too funny not to post

That's funny. The funny thing is that this page likely won't have any views because grammar is something most idiots don't care about. They'll see the title, say something ignorant and eneducated to rebuke it in their mind, then move along. So we can effectively make fun of them in the open and they won't know it!

Priceless

I find it more hilarious based on the fact that most of the grammatical errors are stuff that can only be recognized when written not spoken

Lol@that comic....


I was at sams club yesterday, and I walked up to this lady giving out samples. I said,"I want one for my wife and me."

She gets all pissy and says,"you mean your wife and I"

And I said,"no, for my wife and me"


She got this big attitude and started correcting me, like a teacher would a student.
She goes on some rant like I never went to school, and must be from the stone age or something.

I was pissed.

After a few seconds of her yammering on, I interrupted her and said,"remember in school, to see if you are right you drop the first part of the sentence and see if it sounds right. Does it sound right if I say' id like one for I'?"

I continue,"no, no it doesn't."

She loses her cool and it turned into a big deal. Eventually I just walked away laughing at this crazy lady, with no sample.


In hindsight, I realize she was in fact ALERGIC, and it really was that serious.

I think she was correct

Saying "May i have one for my wife and me" doesn't sound right to me.

Also saying, "Can i have one for me" isn't correct either.

No, she was incorrect. Toycar was correct. "Me" is the correct usage when speaking of yourself as the object of the sentence. When used as the subject, "I" is appropriate.

"My wife and I would like a sample."
"I would like a sample for my wife and me."

"Can I have one for me" is correct, though an awkward wording. There isn't really a need to specify that it is for yourself when you're already asking if you could have one. When including your wife in the request, then it makes more sense.

That method of dropping the other part is EXACTLY how to do it. My 7th grade English teacher taught me that, and it has been invaluable over the years.






Toycar, did that actually happen? I'd have been a dick and called the manager over... If someone wants to correct my grammar, they had damn well better be correct!

[Ralphie]

Ah i see now.

Damn my English sucks.

No wonder why no one speaks English here lol.

[deevergote]

Correct. You and your wife are the subjects of the sentence.

It's actually more complicated in the way Toycar said it... "I would like a sample for my wife and me". "I" is the subject, doing the liking. The sample is still technically the object. I forget what "my wife and me" would really be called, but that is correct.

I would like a sample for me = correct
I would like a sample for I = idiotic

Yup, it really happened.

Honestly it wasn't a big deal at first. I was flipping her shit because she was bitch about it. Then, I think she realized she was wrong but didn't want to admit it, so the situation blew up.

I wanted to get a manager, but my wife gets pissed when I do that.

Don't really know why either. Well, I kinda do. I'm an asshole sometimes, and my wife gets embarrassed easy, lol.

Oh well, its all good. I ate like 15 bagel bites at the other sample counter

[deevergote]

I'd have gotten a manager... or I would've just fucked with her some more.

"I'm trying to eat healthy. Do you know if these bagel bites are good for I?"

[Ralphie]

I do not hesitate to call over a manager when someone is an arse.

Thankfully my wife is the same way, so she will cause a ruckus faster then i would lol.

[deevergote]

Even if he WAS wrong, it's not the sample lady's place to make a fuss about it!

For sure!

You could have gotten some bagel bites out of that shit lol.
