Wow. That’s even better than the homemade “I *heart* Palin” sign in my neighborhood, which closely resembles the ones on the left side of this pic. As David Sedaris says in this week’s New Yorker, “calling yourself a maverick is a sure sign you are not one.”
Real America. {{{sigh}}}
On the other side of the ledger, one of Barry Goldwater’s – BARRY GOLDWATER! – granddaughters publicly renounced her grandfather’s party. Unfortunately, here’s how she phrased it:
“Myself, along with my siblings and a few cousins, will not be supporting the Republican presidential candidates this year. ”
“Myself will not be supporting–” AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!
This all ain’t no problem! But check this one out I had to mark. The topic was: “Should abortion be banned?” One of my students wrote:
“… Furthermore to have a abortion for 30 years it is illegal, because you can’t understand the life, and why you are born, or why you have a mother and when you this all knew and knew what’s a baby you can have the right answer. …”
No kidding!
Oh, but your students aren’t native English speakers!
Was your student a former Miss South Carolina contestant a few years ago “and such as”?
The rambling, nonsensical writing is strangely familiar.
That “socialest” sign it would have been pretty darned witty if only they had inserted an apostrophe – as in “No effete French social’est”.
