[HONDA GHANDI]

Hey can you sail me your vette for $1?

[Brian]

yes, but it looks like there isn't enough wind today ;)

[Brandon]

Tobi, I'll cell you the taco.

[stu]

I see this all the time and I just don't get it.

[M@]

I've made this mistakes a few times; mainly because I wasn't paying attention. The ironic part is all through grade school, I always had a 95% or higher in Engrish (spelling intended). :D

Thanks for this post. I had 3 different posts ready to do this morning, but after re-reading each of them a couple times I just couldn't push the submit button. Sometimes I'm just an asshole.

[Brian]

I'm an asshole too, but sometimes people need to be assholes. Otherwise things go on uncorrected lol.
