Stuck on grammar

In this description of the Mono Pico, an inventive walnut opener (yes, it's weird, it's for a class). there is a phrase that says "stucked into" which should read "stuck into."

At least they used the right "its."

bussing, or busing?

(image to go here, blogger is rejecting me!)

After our discussion about correct word usage in class, this little mistake caught my attention. When discussing the bus rides to our sorority formal this weekend, the emails read "Continuous Bussing" instead of "busing." One of which means kissing, and the other means, well, plain old riding on a bus.

Frankly, I think this mistake spices things up...

Hopefully...

After we talked about "hopefully" in class, I have been hyper-aware of how people around me (and even how I) use the word.

This is a partial list of a e-mails I have received in the last few weeks where hopefully has been used incorrectly. Instead of using it correctly to mean "in a hopeful manner," pretty much all of these have used it to mean "I hope."

Now I have a new way to annoy my friends by correcting their grammar.

Cheers.

Tattoo trouble

This was just too good to pass up. Just goes to show that proofreading is always key. Especially when you are about to tattoo something on your body.

Think about it

Here is a mistake on the capstone website, thinkdsm.com.

Captiol, meaning building, not capital. 

cheers

now it's possesive, now it's not.

I don't have an image to go with this post—partly because I still don't know how to work the camera on my phone, partly because I didn't want to spend $4 on a celebrity magazine.

I saw this headline at the magazine mecca in Barnes & Noble:

"Robert's jealous of other cast members"

which means "Robert is" but sounds like a possessive. In this case, since clarity is an issue, the cover blurb should read "Robert is" to make sure the reader knows that "jealous" is not a noun (f they didn't already...).

cheers

Oh dear.

Oh. Oh, no.

I think we all know what the problem is on this photo. Enough said.

pretty much.

"It usually takes pretty much time to achieve something you have never done before."

What?

I think this tutorial is trying to tell me that it takes a lot of time to get an effect I want in Photoshop if I have never done it before. I think. This sentence needs to be more clear, and could be with the removal of "pretty much."
