A t-shirt inspired me to start this blog, and this t-shirt caused me to chase after a guy in the subway on Saturday:
His friends were like, "Dude, this girl is taking a picture of your back!" I think he was drunk, so I didn't bother to explain why.
In other news, I have a new favorite band.

LOVE IT! especially if he was actually drunk and wearing this shirt. :)
It was around midnight on a Saturday, so I'd say the odds are pretty high.
How hot is your blog? Now they're naming bands after it!
Excellent blog! I have a similar one (http://abusedapostrophes.blogspot.com/). Interested in exchanging links? Keep up the good fight.
You'd think that people would check before they have something printed?? As a calligrapher, I frequently get texts that are misspelled, and use poor sentence construction - I'm always wondering if I should ignore it (not wanting to insult anyone), or mention that I caught a problem and ask if they want me to correct it. I do find myself "judging" people's intelligence - not a very nice characteristic, by their use of language. (thank goodness for my spell checker!)
BTW, Richard Lederer has written a couple of hysterical books about the misuse of the english language, by foreigners, and native born american idiots! It makes great bathroom reading!
Hi Lianda,
Thanks for your comment. Technically, a spell-checker wouldn't help in this case because "your" is a word. :)
The_punctuator: What a coincidence! Looks like we started our blogs around the same time.
