"Steering wheel on my pants’ Feh! 
As for the sign, he wrote his brilliant idea down, took it to Sign-A-Rama and told them to print one out for him. So they did. As written.
I would quote his Dish Washing Instructions but they make me shudder.
His sister wrote the sign by the time clock that says, “Violators will be wrote up.”
Orientate is the preferred form in Australia and the UK, and possibly South Africa according to a hit on Google.
I just wanted to say that I’ve recently been disturbed to see people substituting the word “anymore” for “now” or “nowadays”. Examples: Anymore, things have changed; The things you have to go through anymore!

[Phoebe]Wow - I just got that![/Phoebe]
I first read it as meaning “Some people lead; some – which are you – follow”.
See - bad grammar gets in the way of reading comprehension.
That’s how I read it too! That it might be intended as a question didn’t even occur to me.
It’s still wrong, though.
Oh, get over it, people. Maybe not everyone wants to utilize your language methodology.
A sign I just saw outside of a conference room:
STOP!
Food is purchased for Trainee’s only. If you are “NOT” a Trainee, please “DON’T” eat it!
I hate when people use petted as the past tense of pet. As in, “I petted the dog”. Arrgggh.
Oh and don’t even get me started on the reverse-psychology quotation marks!!! :mad:

Oh the pet peeves…
My Cow-orker is in the endlessly frustrating habit of using ‘hisself’ and ‘thierselfs’.
Not so bad, except she talks for a living.
What gets me hot under the collar are the mental defectives that use prostrate in place of prostate.
HEAR ME NOW, YOU BESLUBBERING, ADDLEPATED CANKER-BLOSSOMS, (a fine use of the shakespearean insulter, dont you think?)
The Prostate is something you have checked…PROSTRATE is a way you can check it. Please, get it right!
When I posted it, it looked made up to me as well, but I can assure you that it’s genuine. She’s a very nice woman, actually, but her English and grammar is god-awful.
Or “are”, even. :smack:
fuckin’ Gaudere can kiss me arse…
I see myself responding to this with a big grin and finger quotes, “Okay, I “won’t”!” then gleefully plunging in.
Exgineer, would you agree that the group is properly called a Hoarde of Misers?
Being that it was “Indian” food, I “was” seriously considering “doing” just “that.”
It’s probably just that I’m really dim, but I really don’t understand this question.
The subtitle to this thread should be “Gaudere’s Law In Action”.
You’d think people would have learned by now how to make proper passed tents! 
The way I read it, he’s reminding his employees that they are inferior to him. The exclamation point adds emphasis, as if he’s poking his employees in the chest as he tells them they must follow his lead.
You seem to have found a different meaning that escapes me. Please share.
Am I being whooshed? What is the past tense?
I admit to hating the word “complected” as well. Imagine my aggravation when I looked it up and there it was in the dictionary. I felt betrayed. One thing that my boss does drives me crazy, though it’s a pronunciation thing rather than a grammar thing. She pronounces “mammogram” as “mammygram.” It wouldn’t be so bad, except that you all have no idea how often that word comes up in our conversation.
For the sake of your ass, do not read the first post in this thread
