Shirt.Woot

As someone who edits transcripts, this shirt has my name all over it.

I wouldn't recommend using red ink to correct the internet. If you do that, then you will end up needing to replace your monitor way too often.

Well I know what I'm getting my grammar I wanted you guys to know I'm ignorant English Professor as a end of the year gift.

Never mind. I just got the joke.

Oh! Mutating Goodness!!! I love it!! I so have to get this shirt!!

Like the idea + the execution, but not that kind of personality. Really not, didn't you see the "+" sign? Like you'd let that pass.

On another note: new site v*. sleek.

*See Bridget Jones people, it's canon.

Women's shirts listed as printing on AA!

ha. i wuz wading 4 dat

I need this shirt! I HATE...HATE...(did I say HATE) when you get an official letter or email from a business or such and there is bad spelling or poor grammar! I mean really, what about people check instead of spell check.

My biggest internet grammar pet peeves are:

your, you're

there, their, they're

People, please learn them. Please.

I'm honestly surprised there was an apostrophe in "can't" originally.

The write-up certainly makes me want to tear my eyeballs out of their sockets.

Best write-up EVER!

I can't wait until my 13-year-old daughter wakes up so she can read it. She is the only kid I know that is horrified by her siblings hacking her facebook account with bad grammar posts! :-)

You forgot an ? in there. :P

I think, for once, it is appropriate for me to don my policeman's badge and use the forums to point out a grammatical error that still remains on the shirt. I believe "I'll run out of red ink!" would be more properly stated as "I'd run out of red ink!" or "I would run out of red ink!" because it is part of a counterfactual construction and therefore requires the conditional verb "would."

As someone who does transcripts, I say give me a job.

As a high school English teacher who happily wears woot shirts to work almost every day, this is a know-brianer.

However, I must confess that I do not use red pen. I opt to mark papers with colored pencils, preferably green or purple, as red is damaging to the fragile egos* of my young scholars.




*Right. Like anything could damage their egos other than being de-friended on facebook.

Do people even wonder what those little squiggly red lines are under their text?

Do people even wonder what are those little squiggly red lines...

Those little squiggly red lines under the words. Do people even wonder what they are?

STOP JUDGING ME!

As someone who used to edit magazines, I must point out that your modifier is dangling.

And I thought I was the only one....what a revelation!

Love it!!

My brain instantly started making a list of people to wear this shirt around.

The truth of this shirt makes me weep for society.

My God! Your so rite!

[sic]

Having recently conducted several rounds of applications and interviews for a technical writing position, I wish I'd had this shirt a few months ago.

I absolutely love this shirt. As a beta, this speaks to my inner grammar-I wanted you guys to know I'm ignorant!

I wish I could buy this shirt.

I want to buy this shirt based on the write up, but I can't because I have no money.

First world problems.

After a day of unimpressive write-ups site-wide, the Woot writers are back on the job! An easy one to do well, to be sure, but delightful in spite of the low difficulty rating.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Annnd.. this shall be my first post ever. WIN.

And that is also why I cannot buy this shirt. I was so excited too.. :\

But a counterfactual statement is typically one that is considered to be false or so unlikely as to be false in practice - and let's face it, if any of us tried to correct (with a red pen) everything that was wrong on the internet, we would DEFINITELY run out of red ink.

While I agree that the conditional verb construction ought to be used, it seems to me that it is due to the speculative construction of the dependent clause.

Either way, I just can't get this shirt because of that mistake.

o kewl! its fer sale! imma gonna get me 3!

Ok, that was painful. Thanks, woot, for selecting my design today and for the clever write up. It hurt my brain to read it but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Also, the link to my Red Bubble store isn't working. This is the correct link if someone wouldn't mind correcting it. Thanks!
