I hope, when my pupils present and ex- read this, they will newly appreciate why Sir kept insisting so vehemently that it is important to get things like spelling, words and syntax right (and I can entirely believe this article a friend sent me, because I read this kind of stuff everyday in the homework I have to mark, even from supposedly ‘good’ students).

These are priceless bombs, Suvro da. I took a fair bit of time to figure out about poor Carlos but I still don't know what #4 (administrating what exactly?) # 12 (leaking boots?), # 18 and 21 mean for real. Most of them are just pure shots of unbelievable 'brilliance'.
Possible retorts/responses for some of the howlers...
#1. For not attending P.E?!
#5. We sincerely hope he finds it.
#6. Kindly return them to the owner.
#7. Is the part still growing?
#9. Plant some corn.
# 13. ...and desired to spend some time with it?
# 14. Not his mum's? Hmm...
# 16. Which planet are you on?
# 17. We don't want her scaring the other kids. Please keep her at home and at peace.
# 19. How soon will he be up and breeding again, do you think?
# 20. And you think we needed to know that?!
# 22. Talk about being a Doctor of Love...!
# 23. And we sincerely hope you had fun!
Did you hear about the sign that read:
Burger: $3.50
Burger with cheese: $4.15
Kids with soda: $2.50
Take care, Suvro da.

Once Kushwant Singh was asked by a reporter why is it that we never see you writing wrong English. As expected the author took offence and said that unlike today I learnt English in an era when I was not exposed to corrupted English. So I failed to learn to use the language in the wrong way.
I enjoyed the post a lot and Shilpi Di's responses added to the fun.
Take Care Sir,
Partha.
Sir,
Absolutely hilarious.Another fine example of BLACK HUMOUR.
The problem with most of the people of the whole world is that,they don't care to write anything sensible(spelling mistake being the most common one).And when they are pestered by someone to write properly,the only answer from them is:"Oh....I have given up studies a long ago,since I have been looking after my job!".
This blog is a perfect example of how irresponsible and callous people can be.
I still remember that once you had
told us:"A person,who is good at studies will be attentive to any and every subject,he pursues".I was moved as well as inspired by these words and had learnt a valuable lesson in my life that one should not look down upon any subject as an inferior one.
Really;the people,who take such mistakes so lightly are nothing but headless morons.
I just can't understand that don't they think of what impression about them is made on a sensible and educated reader,if he reads their trash?why are mistakes in cases of Grammars(be it Bengali or English)taken so lightly?

I don't want to sound hurtful, Soumallya, but you could have been a little more careful yourself while writing that comment!
Sir
Sir,
Came across a snap-shot on the net about a sign-board outside a petrol station:
Pete's. Eat here and get gas.
Sincerely
Nishant.
