Toilet Scribble

Proofreaders Rock

I used to work in advertising and I know that proofreaders have a hard job that nobody appreciates. I also know that they have a good sense of humor. You’d have to have a good sense of humor to correct poorly written toilet graffiti.

Uh... no, Debbie.
It's the nominative clause. It would be *whoever*, not whomever.

Think of it this way:
"He wrote this," not "Him wrote this."

And yeah, 'are' should have a comma after it. Not for dramatic effect, but because it's a dependent followed by an independent clause.

And if you really want to be picky, you should probably say "his or her," not "their."

Dear English,

Firstly, this is a blog called Toilet Scribble so yes, obviously this page is dedicated to perfection in grammar.

#2, never assume. It makes an ass out of you and you alone.

Third,,,,,,,,,I can add a com,ma, wherever, I, want.

4th; Sarcasm detectors are fairly cheap at most novelty stores,,,,,,,I suggest buying one.

5. The posts above yours may not be considered 'an adequate usage of English' but they are not a waste of of time and space whereas yours kinda is (but I am still glad you stopped by!!)

VI: I like you.

SEVEN -- Do you always sign your comments as the name 'Assholes'? if so why?

Ocho: ThaNKS fer viziting meye sight. itz apreesheated.

Is the point of this page to honor grammatical perfection? I assume such, but cannot then justify why every post above mine has such rampant syntactical and grammatical errors. People, people. You cannot insert commas anyplace you would like to add "dramatic pause". That is just wrong; they do not even work that way. Commas CAN be used to separate clauses within the sentence but not just as a way to add more words to your sentence.
Not one post above could be considered an adequate usage of English. At least those people, who wrote on the bathroom wall, didn't claim to know grammar. Assholes.

Debbie - I'm no grammar nazi but I think you are correct. I might also put a comma after 'are' for dramatic pause. Or perhaps 'are....'

I think I would do it too...but I would probably instead just write something witty and stupid like "if you find them and kick their ass I will buy you grammar lessons you stupid prick"

I agree, I would have (And have before) done this. I applaud the man/woman who wrote this. Bravo. Good show.

The frightening thing is - this is something that I would want to do, and might do if I had a pen or a marker with me at the time I saw the poorly written, grammatically incorrect and therefor, nonsensical scribble~

juliemccoy recently scribbled the following on their toilet (I mean blog)..This man is missing.............his MIND!
