I'm tempted to name this thread after our most serious offender.
Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

I'll commiserate...

I've had two students misspell the word "paper"- I didn't even know that was possible!

Multiple students tell me about characters who are golebal (or golibal). See if you can figure that one out! It took me a few momemts.

They proudly tell me that "whom" isn't used today anymore, it's only in old English books.

You really think we're that gullible? :P

On the subject (though in a different language), back in the 80s when my mother was a preschool teacher she got a Mitzvah note from a mother "Levi was very good at קשר ברכה". I wonder if any of the Lubavitchers on here can figure that out...

Well that's what I thought when I saw the "golebal" but then the "golibal" gave it away... :P

@Dan, why don’t you send out a mass text to let everyone know to cancel? That’s the most defective solution most people don’t read the forum.

I feel like that guy was using the "speak to text" feature. It's the only way a mistake like that would happen, right?

I've always wanted to put AJK in this thread. even though it's not such a big deal, it's a mistake nonetheless:

Well I got the 10 inch, and when it arrived, my wife and I both agreed it was way to large to be used on shabbas for our challah knife, so we exchanged for the 8 inch.

I'm no knife aficionado, but wow, this thing is good.

We should make a thread for reading comprehension, too, while we're at it:

This thread is not meant to "out" those that have one or two bad posts.*

This thread is only meant to encourage proper punctuation and grammar for those who consistently and clearly seem to lack it.

Assume three or more posts establishes a pattern of bad behavior.

*Unless the post itself is so egregious that it deserves a post here, despite there not being a "pattern" of abuse.
