a few people drew my attention to this. I think the passive aggression is way better than the QMs, but they're alright.

I think the quotes reveal the true nature of the passive aggressor beautifully. Thoughtlessness, carelessness, laziness, and uncritical thinking can manifest as poor grammar as much as in PA notes. And that rampant punctuation abuse is a worthy posting for that blog or this one.
Hehe, if we're gonna have a whole blog for wrong grammar, if only punctuation marks, I still have to comment on the blogger's spelling of alright. I mean, I couldn't just pass it by without a comment, right? LOL. Anyway, all right is always two words.
From dictionary.com: The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.
