New Features: Ratings and Corrections!

with 5 comments

We have had several people comment or e-mail us and say that they’re learning English and couldn’t spot any errors in several of our posts.  While we get a perverse sense of pleasure from mocking bad grammar, spelling and sentence structure, we also would like to help people who want to improve their English! So now at the bottom of each post there will be a link you can click to see a list of all the issues in the image, along with their corrections and any relevant comments from us.

For all you savvy text slingers, check out the list of issues and let us know in the comments if you think we missed an issue or if we’ve incorrectly labeled something as being an issue.

In addition, we’ve added a rating feature to the site. Observe the five stars at the bottom of each post. Simply click the number of stars you think the post deserves, and that rating will be collected. Once we have enough ratings, we’ll display links to our most popular posts in the sidebar.

Thanks so much for reading! We’re aiming for five posts a day, seven days a week, so check back frequently and “tell you’re friends” [sic] about us! :-)

  4. Wow, I was so busy laughing at the horrible English that even I forgot those who aren’t native speakers or writers. Whoops.
