Big Girls Don't Punctuate

If there's one thing I hate more than bad punctuation, it's Fergie. She's horrible in so many ways. Her lyrics are horrendous; she can't sing; and she's not even pretty! So I was thrilled when my friend Katy gave me this collection of hilarious Fergie-themed stickers sponsored by Motorola. Check out the one on the bottom right. It's a little blurry, but I think you'll get the idea.



There's an apostrophe after the word I and before the word aint (sic). My friend Carrie also pointed out that the purple sticker on the left misspells the word tasty. I don't know who made these stickers, but it sure ain't an English major!

Becky,

If you really want some world-class punctuation (and spelling and basic grammar) errors, go to Chinatown. That will take you a week! Then again, it's a little unfair. Maybe you should just restrict yourself to people for whom English is a native language.

The "tastey" isn't a mistake by the creator of the stickers. In the song "Fergalicious," the lyrics actually are "T to the A, to the S T E Y - girl, you're tasty."

Thanks for the comment, Evonnia. You are right about the lyrics to "Fergalicious." Whoever wrote the song misspelled "tasty," and the sticker makers just went along with the error.

In fact, in just the first two years a new car loses 35-40 percent of their value. So often it seems smarter to buy a used car, but for the same money to buy a new car of the lower class. Because of the widespread insolvency and lack of money it is difficult to sell the car.
