You guys are gonna love this shit... It's all about obnoxious ways to correct people's spelling and grammar in FailBook status updates. Link (http://www.someecards.com/2011/04/06/the-best-obnoxious-responses-to-misspellings-on-facebook)

One of my personal favorites:

Thank you, they were hilarious.

I'm glad I haven't been supporting the UN strikes on Labia!:laugh::laugh:

Actually, a comma would result in a comma splice. The proper punctuation would be a period. A semicolon could technically work, but I don't think the intent is to make the two clauses appear related.

I think he's referring to the "fuckin a man" part. A comma would've made it seem less like gay sex and more like the expletive it was ment to be.

The thing that sucks about lists like this is people start faking them to get their content on a website. Like Texts From Last Night.

Hilarious though. :D

You're right, but to me that's not even the funniest part. The punchline is that "Robby's" basic spelling and grammar are so bad that he mistakes the word "comma" for the word "coma," thus proceeding to flip the fuck out.

If I knew them, I sure as hell would. I love how the mom enters, that just set me off on a bunch of laughs.

Actually, an apostrophe and a hyphen would also be appropriate, so that "fuckin a man" would become "fuckin'-a, man".

But in all honesty, I think what Robby needs most is a year or two of Remedial English.

No, someone should add one more post in reply to Elizabeth:

I may be wrong but the last sentence shouldn't start with an and. Capital letters after the explanation marks would also be nice.

* exclamation :D

In conversational writing, beginning a subjunctive statement with an "And" is acceptable. However, it is only acceptable in such writing, and not in any other. You are right about the capital letters, as well.

Thanks, I always wondered about the placing of an and at the beginning of a sentence.

I had tears in my eyes from that first one. My one year old started laughing too. He was just pretending to get it though.
