Grammar Cartoon


I find this cartoon funny because 'bestest' and 'irregardless' are not grammatically correct, and the English teacher doesn't want a sign to be posted that is not correct.

Just another touch of 'there'

Just going off of my last there, to, and your blog.. it's amazing how a professor at a university doesn't use basic grammar. The same professor that I mentioned writing "If p than q", wrote "Most living things have..... that make up there cellular chemistry." There? Really?
