The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar

Filed under: ranDUMB — Tags: — charleneshouse @ 8:44 am
The SPOGG Blog The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar
March 4th, and March Forth!
The Worst Grammar in the United States
Hello, members of SPOGG!In the last year, membership in our group has grown to more than 5,000 people. More exciting things are ahead.

SPOGG has succeeded in getting March 4 recognized as the first-ever National Grammar Day. (Get it, March forth? Nyuk!) We want to identify the least-grammatical city in the United States—as well as the most grammatical.

For now, though, SPOGG is looking only for great examples of bad grammar. Do you live in the middle of an apostrophe catastrophe? In a sea of bad spelling? Rat out your neighbors, please.

Some guidelines and suggestions:

1) The more public the offense, the better. We’d love a bad billboard. We’re less likely to include bad restaurant menus, particularly in restaurants run by people who don’t speak English as a first language. They have nothing but our admiration; English is a tricky language.

2) Photos would be excellent. We can make a hilarious Hall of Shame. Video works, too, if you happen to be recording some local television news. We need evidence of the crimes against grammar to make our cases stick.

3) A quick list of places to look: Newspapers, church bulletins, school newsletters, national chain restaurants, weekly ad circulars, bulletin boards, billboards.

The deadline:
The sooner we have this stuff, the more fun we can have with it. How’d you like to see your city on the Today Show? That’s the level of coverage we’re shooting for, and if we have good submissions, that gives us our best shot. (Note: Depending on what we get, we might switch it to least-grammatical state.)

The reward:
The very best submissions, as determined by a vote of our members, will be rewarded with merchandise from the SPOGG shop.

Many thanks for your help, and stay tuned for more!

Martha Brockenbrough, on behalf of SPOGG

She’s Just Showing Her Ignorance

Filed under: Tales from the Muni — Tags: — charleneshouse @ 11:23 pm

A couple of weeks ago, I experienced an honest to goodness Muni freak out.  I don’t know about you, but an occasional bit of muni zany/craziness  is great for cutting the monotony of  public transport.

The rub in my little tale is the very sad fact the the crazy here was allll me…Grade D Prime Charlene (see what I did there?)

Anyways, here’s how it went down:

7:30 pm – Enter the L train, must note that I was a leetle drunk…Miller High Life IS the champagne of beers after all.
7:32 pm – Start playing a game on my phone as I do not want to  make  contact with any of the unwashed masses aboard train.
7:24 pm – I do this weird involuntary sputter thing…like when you inhale a bit-o-saliva.  No biggie – just your average minor choking fit.
7:25 pm – A woman seated near me tsk tsks & makes a disgusted face at me.
7:26 pm – Whilst standing there playing my game, it occurs to me that I don’t take kindly to corrections offered to me by strangers.  Therefore, I pause my game & mimic her disapproval of me…LOUDLY.  It also included a nifty reenactment of the face she made at me…times 10.
7:28 pm – She says to me, “It’s polite to cover your mouth when you cough”.
7: 30 pm – I answer her, “It wasn’t a cough…I choked…it was an accident…FUCK OFFFFFFF”. (upon hearing this, the people near me scurried away from crazy…ME!
7:32 pm – Muni woman slightly rises from her seat & announces to the train, “She’s just showing her ignorance”.
7:33 pm – Charlene is rendered utterly speechless.  What could I have ever said to that?!  I had to let her have the last word!

I am rad.
