“Wierd”
“I” before “E,” except after “WIERD?”
Maybe they meant “wired”?? One man’s wired is another man’s wonderful. Okay, maybe not. Sigh.
Ahh, s’okay, you tried. *patpat*
It wasn’t until after I read it the second time that I realized why I had trouble reading it the first time. I originally started reading it as “wired” but then once I read the rest of the sentence realized it said “weird”. But then I had to go back to look for the English fail, and discovered that it actually said “wierd”.
Just remember that i before e except after c, and except in “eigh,” as in “neighbor” and “weigh,” and “weird” is weird.
I always have to think about this one – so I usually just avoid use of the the “weird” word. Although adding it on to the memory device may work for me
English Fail Blog comment fail…
As all of us who speak ‘real’ English know, you’re missing ‘u’.
Across the pond (?) win!
The MAN’S should be MANS, right? Cause then it reads MAN IS with the apostrophe.
Not every apostrophe+”s” is expanding to “is”.
i.e.: “Ronny’s book is here” is a good sentence, but it doesn’t mean that you should read it as: “Ronny is book is here.”
“Ronny’s” in this case means “belongs to Ronny”, as in “Ronny possesses the book” (and I hope I didn’t screw up with that “possesses”…people here will let me know).
The word “mans” means something else: supply with men (as for service, defense, etc.); take one’s place for service; strengthen, brace
The plural for “man” is “men”.
There is no apostrophe fail here. This is the proper form of showing possession for the word “man”.
^^ It’s a possessive apostrophe.
You are all missing the very obvious fail.
HE HAS A FREAKING SPIDER IN HIS MOUTH !!
Aaaaaahhhhhhh! A spider in his mouth is a VERY OBVIOUS Fail, in my case it would be my heart, cuz I’d die on the spot if that hairy nasty spider was within a mile of me. Ewww. Seriously. Ewwwwwwww.
That’s as may be, but it isn’t an English fail.
Spiders are yummy to the tummy!
Gimme a W! Gimme an E! Gimme an I-R-D! What’s that spell? WEIRD!
Gooooo against the rule spelling! Woo hoo!
Also “weir,” which is a kind of dam in a stream. Or a type of lame guitarist.
Hmm… I thought my 6th grade teacher had covered the bases when he taught us:
“Neither Foreign Sovereign Seized the Counterfeit and Forfeited Leisure” – and ‘neighbor’ and ‘weigh’.
Should’ve been “Neither WEIRD Foreign Sovereign Seized…
I learned: “Neither leisured foreign sheik seized the weird height as forfeit for his heifers’ protein [and caffeine], Sheila.”
The “caffeine” part was my addition.
Possesses possesses 5 ‘s’es. So you’re okay, Ronny.
I can’t say much about this one, because I spell weird as “wierd” all the time. It’s an ongoing joke between my best friend and I because after I did it for so long in IM’s, she started doing it, too.
I know it’s wrong, I just don’t care =D
