”Thank you for submitting your entry in this year’s Spot the Grammatical Error Competition, Philip, your participation are much appreciated”
“I think you mean is appreciated sir, not are”.
“Just testing you”, bluffed the red-faced professor, “now if you was to succeed, what prize would you like to win?”
“I think you mean if I were to succeed, not was, but to answer your question I’d like a bookmark,” said Philip.
“As you should know by now young man”, huffed the professor, “my name is Archibald not Mark, now what book would you like?”
“No, not a book, a bookmark, one of those things you put between pages … oh, I give up!”

Thanks to Denise at GirlieOnTheEdge for hosting.
You can’t win with some people 🤣
…as I know only too well!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
We should be allowed to hang people for bad grammar, I think.
That’s a bit grammatic!
Hahahaha
That’ll do nicely!
Oh, the irony! Nothing like a grammar nazi being caught out in their own grammar. I find I have a malicious smile on my face! Nice one, Keith. (And I’m just waiting to be caught out myself!)
I was very careful to check my grammar in this piece – and in these replies too!
Hi Keith – I wasn’t relating to the word as such … as could only see Uni … as uni-cycle … not uni (university) … so wasn’t think stoopid! Well done … cheers Hilary
Haha, well now uno! Thanks Hilary.
I hope someone else is judging the competition besides Archibald.
So do I! Cheers, Frank.
Chuckle 🙂
Mission accomplished!
Sometimes, we encounter ignorance where we least expect it. Giving up is a sound strategy! LOL
Delightful Six!
Too true Susan! Thanks so much.
I’m all for good grammar. However, there’s time when discretion is the better part of valour. (Or valor, as my SpellCheck insists.) Shall we get into spelling errors?
Me too Christine. My spellchecker is totaly unneccisery!
I hear Lou and Bud, laughing from beyond the grave. Excellent Six: fun, funny and (from a technical point of view) tricky to execute.
cool
Laughing like spotted hyenas! A greater compliment I couldn’t wish for!
Sometimes it’s best just to move on.
So true, Mimi!
Well done as always! Thought I’d stop by to let you know ‘Staarlz’ has moved to a new blog–hope you’re well, not roasting in the heat😉 Leyde
Thanks for letting me know!
You’re welcome–I’m glad to see you again.
😁😂I like the book, Mark, erm, I mean Archibald, erm, I mean Keith. Reminds me of my dear old maternal grandmother when she would ask me: “How’s your grammar?” And I would think she was asking after my paternal grandmother.
Hah, an easy mistake to make! Cheers.
Poor Philip. He gave it his best shot, lol. Fun one Keith!
Indeed he did! Thanks, Denise.
Those damned academics. Proof again that education does not ensure intelligence.
Well done!
