Wordsplosion!

All is forgiven if you tell me where you’re selling diesel fuel for under $2.00!

• “Prices” should be “Price”
• There should be a period after “Broke”
• “Broke” doesn’t need to be capitalized
• “incovience” should be “inconvenience”

What? It’s the day after Thanksgiving! The day before Thanksgiving is called Thanksqueued.

It’s like a cross between jai alai and synchronized swimming.

• I’m not familiar with “Advanced Aquarium Tennis”
• “ARE OPEN” should be “IS OPEN” if in reference to the facility in which you play Aquarium Tennis

Pick one: past tense or bowling joke.

• “STRIKED” should be “STRUCK”
• “W” should be “WITH” or maybe “W/” (likely intentional)
• “U” should be “YOU” (likely intentional)

I decided to promote Wordsplosion on Facebook and got some instant unintentional help.  Also: geography fail.

• The sentence should start with a capital letter
• “its was” should be “It was”
• Both instances of “further” should be “farther” (as she is talking about physical distance)
• “egypt” should be capitalized
• “africa” should be capitalized
• “thats” should be “that’s”
• Egypt is a country within Africa, and is one of the easternmost countries in that continent (thus being farther away from North America than most other African countries)
• too many exclamation points

How many people both carry spray paint around, and know that “1 in 5 children are” is incorrect? Precious few, I’d wager. My favorite part is the example of when “are” would be correct.

Update: a lot of you are noticing that it appears to say “soiicited” instead of “solicited.” But that’s just because the paper is tattered and the line of the “L” is interrupted.

Observe:

• The initial version was correct — the “ARE” correction was misguided
• However, sentences shouldn’t start with a number
• Better version: “One in five children is sexually solicited online.”
• Best version in a perfect world: “Children are never sexually solicited online.”

I sense your urgency!

• “ROSE FROM THE DEATH” should be “ROSE FROM THE DEAD”
• “HES COMING” should be “HE’S COMING”
• There should be a space after “SHORT,”
• “REPENT!!!” and “croos!!” should only have one exclamation point
• “He die for you in a croos” should be “He died for you on a cross”
• “Mount of olive church” should be “Mount of Olive Church”
