Twitter Fail Catastrophe

So, apparently, Twitter wasn't working this morning, which caused all kind of chaos on the Internet, including apostrophe failure over at techcrunch.com.




Credit goes to Tom for sending the above screenshots and coining the phrase "grammar fail whale." In case you don't get the joke, it's clever Twitter humor. I still don't entirely understand what DDOS means, though.

Speaking of Twitter, you can follow Apostrophe Catastrophes at twitter.com/apostrophecatas.

Thanks, Tom!

    DDOS = Distributed Denial Of Service

    For what that's worth...

    I used to liken it to a kindergarten teacher having several hundred (or thousand) students. All shouting -- the teacher's name. And notice the fragment. Good device. Will be used more, later.
