English FAIL Blog

Um.. I must have missed the memo. It looks all right to me. The only odd thing I see is the web address at the bottom, which only shows this to be the eta chi chapter of the sigma chi frat.

This only goes to illustrate just how entrenched misuses of the English language are. It should be, “If you’re going Greek”.

You must be a Greek.

I thought fraternities were in colleges. I guess grammar and spelling aren’t taught at the lower levels of education anymore, eh?

I hope there not serious! I wonder how this got threw them. Did they’re advisor look at it, two? Maybe it had to have bored approval.

You no what? I think your write!

I’m unable to think of anything other than the less than flattering nickname for this fraternity at the university I attended. I wonder what Congress recognizes them AS?

Also, notice how Large that fraternity is! (Notice the random capitalization.)

And it’s missing a question mark.

you know why the greek boy left his homeland?
He didn’t like the way he was being reared.
you know why he came back?
couldn’t leave his brothers behind.

I saw a sorority advertisement that said “so why not be apart of (whatever sorority it was)?” I almost took a picture, but figured it wouldn’t be a good enough fail. Guess I was wrong.

I think the you’re/your is a more common mistake now because of spellchecker. Kind of like this one: Fraternities are in collages aren’t they?

Oh knows, silly homophones.

Also, there’s no period at the end. I always wonder how people manage to forget end punctuation, especially something that will be seen by the general public.

Also notice that ‘your’ should be ‘you’re’

“bored approval” - great phrase, Polly!

Heterographic homophones turn me on.
