For example, yesterday I saw, on one of those school signs with the slide-in letters, the following message:
GOOD LUCKT OUR DEBATING TEAM
One might argue that the T had slipped slightly to the left, but what happened to the O? And how did it slip, when the whole message was locked behind a quarter-inch-thick sheet of perspex?
And then, this very morning, on a newsblog comment page, someone wrote this gem:
Clearly the creators of these sentences know what said sentences should sound like, but haven't ever seen them written down.
I fear that this won't be the last of these posts.

One hour is long enough, little lone eight.

Poor little lone eight...
My favourite recent example of stupid people not understanding stuff was at the Logies last week, when the various presenters kept saying "[insert random TV celebrity] is the John Wood of the Logies".
Nobody seemed to understand that JOHN WOOD IS THE JOHN WOOD OF THE LOGIES.
Recent game-show moment - a woman was asked, "What is short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation?"
Her answer? "NASA."
