new business plan.

today kathleen emailed me this. which she saw in an actual retail store in these united states, i believe.now, i'm just as offended by bad grammar as the next girl, but i do believe there is a highly successful business plan here. a business marketed to a very niche group of snobby white people.

the business would be making t-shirts (or buttons or magnets or bags or those little tin things that people keep their credit cards in) that shun specific grammatical errors while simultaneously making those grammatical errors. examples i have so far:

improper use of apostrophe's make me cry.
i wonder why people punctuate statements as questions?

i could go on but let's face it, at this point i'm just giving you ideas that you could capitalize on and poach my business.

in conclusion, i enjoy correcting peoples' grammar and i encourage you to correct mine, even though i don't care so much about grammar on my blog because i want these posts to sound like me talking.

also, i hope you are reading fake interviews with real celebrities because she just had a brilliant plan for a new publication called "periods." it comes once a month but is late every once in a while, which makes all the subscribers nervous.

I'm sure the shirt wasn't made in these United States, so that might account fot the grammatical error. Asians are fond of extraneous apostrophes and other spelling and grammar mistakes.
