And I hate your spelling...

So, I go on Craigslist occasionally for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is schadenfreude. I got a good dose of it here:

Here's one I ran into today on Yahoo! Answers.

When Obama loses will his supporters take that job at Burger King that their mother wants them too get?
or are they going to sit on here and cry for 4 years? because we know that they will not have the balls to go riot with the blacks and muslim next Tuesday night

To which I responded

Yeah, Obama supporters are all uneducated idiots. I received straight A's in college for 4 years just to work at BK because Obama might lose. BAW.

Go back to grammar school before you start questioning the intelligence of others.

I particularly love the single/multiple conflict there... I now have a mental image:

Ext: a city street in flames. Broken storefront windows show men inside either taking items or setting those places ablaze. on the sidewalk, ten black men walk down the street with baseball bats, crowbars and bricks. At the back of the group is one man in a turban, long white shirt and bomb belt. Pinned to his chest is a button reading, "Jihaddists for Obama".

I mean seriously, "the blacks and muslim"? Like there's one guy who represents the whole religion in America...

Yeah... "too get" is what got me.

I HATE when people misuse "too", "their" etc.

He who lives in a glass house, should see the "Muslim", coming from a mile away... I mean he's just one guy apparently.

Apparently.

But the original poster... if she's calling people out on grammar than she should be fairly close to perfect at it herself. Unless she's trying to find someone to cover for her?

I'm a grammar snob too. I've just managed to get to the point where I only cringe inwardly when I hear some of the crazy ways we Texans slaughter the language.

That is quite a narcissistic post you found.
I hope she finds the perfect guy before she hits 60.

I came across "all intensive purposes" today and it made me want to shoot someone.

Haha! No, that's hilarious.

It's "I could care less" that I'm so sick of I want to punch people in the back of the head for it.
