When blunders are permanent, it makes mocking easier.
Popular, too, are a roll of grammar blogs: "Apostrophe Abuse," "Grammar Girl," "Red Pen, Inc." A Facebook group called "I judge you when you use poor grammar" has almost a half-million followers. This year, two self-described "grammar vigilantes" released The Great Typo Hunt, a book of typos discovered on a road trip. "You have to cover yourself."ĭespite - or perhaps because of - the erosion of our spelling and grammar skills thanks to texting and Internet shorthand (LOL! c u l8r! kthxbai!) we've seen a cultural upswing in attention to wordplay. "If you don't speak the language you shouldn't have it tattooed on your body," said Walt Smith, manager of Poda Tattoo in Clearwater. Perennial favorite Britney Spears has a Japanese character tattoo meant to say "mysterious." But actor Taryn Manning got the same tattoo when they filmed Crossroads together, and later told a reporter the translation means "strange." That would be fine, except it's actually spelled "rimpianti." Heroes star Hayden Panettiere's tattoo says Vivere senza rimipianti, or "to live without regrets" in Italian. Rihanna already has a misspelled Sanskrit tattoo for "Forgiveness, Honesty, Suppression and Control." David Beckham wanted his wife's name, "Victoria," in the same language. Rebelle fleur translates to rebel flower, NOT rebelious flower, its 2 nouns so in that case fleur does not HAVE to be first! Fyi, cuz they will ask Rihanna disagreed, and sent her tattoo artist a text message warning, according to OK! magazine: When Rihanna got "rebelle fleur" tattooed on her neck recently, the blogosphere sneered, calling it bad French grammar.
We love bad tattoos, those kick-me signs forever pressed into pigment.
