<HTML>I loathe grammasites, and normally I will splat the little blighters on sight. But I have to admit that the following example of their depredations struck me as almost poetic. I spotted it in my local greengrocer's, and reproduce it here exactly as seen:
ALL NUTS, IS PRICED INDIVIDUALY
Four mistakes - and of different kinds at that - in the space of a mere five words! That has to be some sort of record. Can anyone match it?</HTML>

<HTML>Sound more like they are london born and bred than any other outside influences. Either that or like to put across an Ali G type of image. Its to appeal to the masses. Incidentally if anybody does not know who Ali G is, he may not have made it to Australia yet, I'm sure somebody else would be glad to explain ...</HTML>

'Dental repairs while U wait'</HTML>

<HTML>Ali G has reached Australia- his film was on out here not so long back.
I had a free ticket to see it and can say it was certainly worth that price.</HTML>

<HTML>The TV show is much better than the film - especially "Borat's Guibe To Britain" - superb.</HTML>
