I Is Writer

Pet Peeve #23476: Paid magazines whose writers can’t is spells.
The first time I flipped through Playworks was back in 2003. On the firsts page, I see a spelling errors. I stop reading.
2005: I flip through Playworks and I sees that the writes hasn’t taken any language lessons since.
2009: I flip through Playworks and the first sentence on the first random page has a glaring grammer errors.
6 years and no one learns. To the idiots who’ve told me then that I was a nobody and laughed when I asked about rates, I say nanny nanny poo poo. They’re write though, no one in that mag deserves to be paid.
*Edit* Add one more to the list – The New Paper, a gossipy daily with a national circulation. I enjoy skimming through it for all the dumbest and meaningless news in the country. This one for instance is particularly noteworthy because it contains BOTH a typo AND a grammar error in the 7-word headline.

The writer spent $7000 on braces to get straight teeth. That's why you're looking at them now.
