Unstoppably Bad Grammar

My friend/former co-worker Fiona sent me a link from one of the most poorly written web sites I've ever seen. Are you ready to be horrified?


Two apostrophe catastrophes (three if you count "TV's" as a catastrophe -- depends on your style guide), random capitalization, subject verb disagreement, spacing problems, a spelling mistake, no periods, missing hyphens, run-on sentences ... this web site has it all. My brain hurts.

Thanks, Fiona! Way to carpe diem! (She's a Latin teacher.)

    So one of my students is now writing websites. . .

    Seriously though, I've seen worse than that!

    Wow. That's astonishing! I went to the restaurant's web site and sent them a note about the horrific grammar ;-)

    Me again. I spent but a few minutes at the restaurant's web site and my head exploded. fortunately I touch-type, so I don't need a head (or eyes) to comment.

    I'll include a link to the restaurant's site in a brief post today. It's awful. I wonder if the owner let his/her sixteen-year-old son or daughter author the site. Yikes!

    Carlos, did you really write to them to complain? That's hilarious. Let me know if they write back.

    The link is dead. Go to http://amrheinsboston.com
    The site is still bad but I couldn't find the minuet on the menu, but I'll bet they still serve it.
