Me Flunk English? That's Unpossible!

You know, maybe I expect too much. I know not all the world shares my particular obsession with the proper placement of commas and apostrophes and such.

(By the way, I'll thank you not to find any of the myriad grammatical errors in this very blog and email me about what a hypocrite I am...I enjoy my own hypocrisy, thankyouverymuch.)

And I know that certain rules of grammar, in particular those of commas and apostrophes, can be rather hard to grasp, especially if you're a particularly retarded advertising executive for an adult escort company.

Or, for that matter, a copy editor for a major online news publication.

Otherwise I wouldn't have seen this in a banner ad today:

Now, I'm not actually sure what the proper plural form of the word "ho" is, frankly. I'm going to go out on a limb and say "hoes," as in, "I got hoes in different area codes."

(Which, I'll also point out, doesn't even fucking rhyme, so don't ask me how it became a saying.)

Hoes looks all wrong, but I can't say "hos" looks much better, eh? Dang, I'm really lost here.

But then I went back to the same page and saw the offending banner ad again. And it was at this point I realized that I was complaining all for nothing, and felt like an even bigger weirdo dork than usual:

Becuase it is now obvious that the letter "W" is obscured, and that my zeal for finding and ridiculing grammatical errors overtook my critical thinking ability. After all, it does seem unlikely that a newspaper would be asking its readers whether there were hoes searching for them.

As the Sports Guy might say, the answer, as always: I'm an idiot.

(But seriously, don't ever let me catch any of you trying to use a damn apostrophe to form a plural. I will break my freaking designer heel off in your ass--and then I'll be even more pissed, becuase you'll have made me break my shoe.)
