At least they didn't spell it "excretions."

Wow. Just... wow. The massive failures in language arts, civics, and social studies education that had to come together to make that flickr set possible are astounding. Living abroad is looking better every day indeed.

Or perhaps sending others abroad to a small island where they could learn how to spell and read actual books.

Yeah, we're going with a gallows humor approach on this one.

One of my friends pointed out that the "T" is right above the "G" on a keyboard.

And spellcheck doesn't recognise
"highly retarded agent" as an error. lol.

Word to the foreigners! My family, the Stranczeks, have been here for thousands of years, so learn yourself up some of our, um, native American language... wait, there's something wrong there...

What a huge pile of stink those people are. That's Crestwood crossed off my To Visit list.

I choose to find this funny, as the alternative is to kill myself.

I assume if you don't speak ENGLISH in Crestwood they send packs of teenage boys out to kill you. NO EXCETIONS. Sigh.

I love the tone of "socilism not my cup of tea." They just wanted to let everyone know, you know, just FYI, in case anyone was wondering...

As a person who learned English as his fourth language I should keep very low profile when people make spelling errors, but... well, let's just say oh my!

Claire Dawn, I know someone who actually signed a cover letter with "Warmest retards". Because she caught it *before* it went out, we still laugh about it.

This reminds me of the Facebook group: "Let's eat Grandma!" "Let's eat, Grandma!" Proper grammar saves lives!

Poor granny! There were no excetions for her, either ;)

BTW, this is the town that is currently battling lawsuits because of a known issue with contaminated well water in Crestwood, IL, homes. Maybe the Mayor was suffering from a little brain damage...?

Probably written by the people who pronounce the country, Mare-kuh.

Gud Bliss Mare-kuh(with fist raised in triumphant defiance to the rest of the world)!

Or some such monosyllabic inbred drivel.
