Richard Lederer, Righter of Wrongs!
Or something like that.
Anyway, you know him. Collector of really silly mistakes people've
made using the English language. The one that's been making the rounds of
bulletin boards everywhere is the
"Student Bloopers". They're, well, rather indescribable. It's also to be
found in his book "Anguished English", which you should go find immediately.
In the same book, there's some
courtroom
silliness,
odd mistranslations,
silly insurance
claims, badly written
advertisements... And more!
He's written a sequel, called "More Anguished English", which has got
more monuments to student
inaccuracy
. It's a fantabulous book, and I must convert some more of it into HTML
at some point.
