The following thread titles were submitted by Gustavratzenhofer over the course of the past week. I submit them here for your perusal.
"Midgets eats orange in front of trucker"
"The Calamity Jane Thread."
In the first title, it is obvious that the structure of the phrase is grammatically vague at best, and quite possibly, I'm ashamed to say, absolutely incorrect. It's like a monkey took over his keyboard and tapped that out.
In the second example, there are two egregious errors. The first is the misspelling of CalamityJane, by adding a space. This is midly repellant and offensive in itself, but it is compounded by that period just hanging there at the end of a phrase that can in no way be construed as a full sentence, by any sane person. Was he drunk when he posted this?
I submit that this kind of sloppy posting is a blight on the otherwise bright and beautiful landscape of A2K, and should be corrected immediately.
BUT:
Since there is no way to edit posts on this site, that can't happen. I therefore submit that from this moment forward, any typos, incorrect grammar, or mistakes of any kind be deemed "Doing a Ratzenhofer" and be posted here in the A2K typo hall of shame, along with a demand of a full apology by the poster in question. It's the only way to make things right again. We're all in this together, people. Let's keep A2K spinning in the right direction, shall we?
I like your "aggregious errors", Kicky!

Don't you mean egregious ?
Ha, You just pulled a Ratzenhofer !
What are you talking about?
C'mon, Kicky. Don't you have anything better to do? Or something more interesting to post? Like the romantic evening you had last night with that bottle of merlot, Sade cd, candles, yourself and your comic book collection?
I can see that this thread is going to be very useful in the new "no-edits" era of A2K.
Whats' with the simple calling of names? If someone misuses puncuation or misspells a word. It calls for measueres that meet the crime. . We don't need these mambypamby calling them Gus ideas. Cut off there fingers.
Better yet... put egg on they're face..

I have made a vow to myself to never write anything about my personal life on this site again. Of course I did that right after I masturbated to a bunch of pictures of Oprah interviewing Dr. Phil.

Good one, Reyn! Can you provide the link of where this tragic typographical transgression occurred that we might go there and post the derisive term "Ratzenhofer" all over that thread?

Wow, a double Ratzenhofer !
Oh man, I love that saying. One day I hope to hear it out there in the real world from some stranger...it's a tiny little dream, yes, but it's all mine.
