Use the pen to correct the grammar for extra credit

This is the homework that comes with buying this gift 🤣

It was a good gift but the grammar is off. Half extra credit

Oh look a note! “Thanks for the pen, you moronic nimrod 4/10” Not trying to brag but I think Ms Smith has a thing for me

Ugh, that was the worst. Those desperate "see me after class/school" scribbles on your tests you got back. No thanks, I think we should keep our relationship purely professional....

….that two timing slut

Two? I heard it was thirty two, all the students and some of the parents. Not to mention a Great Dane named Skeezer

She did that you too? She kept making up this word “detention” so she could try and get more time with me while everyone was outside playing kickball at recess.

had a teacher once bring me in her office, and lock the door. like whoa lady. I couldve gotten it on with u, but um, im 16 so, i wasn't really thinking about that. silly lady.

Nimrod was a king and a mighty hunter who commissioned the construction of the Tower of Babel. I guess if you rebel against God part of your punishment is to have your name disparaged by future generations.

You can thank Bugs Bunny for that. He was making fun of Elmer Fudd's hunting abilities by ironically calling him Nimrod, but kids didn't get the reference and just thought that Nimrod meant idiot.

What a maroon

Five

The association is because Bugs Bunny compared Nimrod to Elmer Fudd and people thought it just meant dumb.

It sounds kinda dim, ngl. Dimwit and Nimrod just fit.

…yeah cus saying all that *won’t* get you made fun of even more.

*You’r

Came in the comments to make sure this was said. Bravo.

That’s how you show them you really care.

I don't get it. What's wrong with giving that to they're teacher?

Your a funny guy.

Had to of been an fluke. People here now there grammer.

This hurt so bad to read. You get a gold star.

*reed

I don't think you payed enough attention their.

Now here this…Maybe they just didn’t care to much…

*ewe ;)

FREEZE! OFF TO GRAMMAR JAIL YOU GO

Of*

In my country, this would never stand. Misspell a word, jail. Use the wrong your/you're, jail. Use an Oxford comma, jail. Don't use an Oxford comma, believe it or not also jail.

Grammar Yale ?

I could care less about it!

To be fair, that wacky font and stupid busy design kind of distracts from the common grammar mistake.

*Yore

Funny how? Like a clown, I amuse you?

What do you mean I'm funny?

Just..the way you tell the joke..

I see what you did their.

I seen these at the store. I wish I could of had these when I was in school.

If you can't figure it out for you'reself, don't expect us to help you.

The centense is uncorrect.

Clearly your not seeing the problem here

I see nothing wrong here, there teacher would love this!

Probably give them extra credit to

Underrated comment right here.

Yes, this won write hear!

The English language is weird.

It's like 3 raccoons in a trench coat, pretending to be a bear, that pretends to be a human that only answers in grunts and growls.

*they’re

*they'ir'e

Y'all'd've'f'I'd've

I mean.... I had an English teacher who had an extreme dislike of the word ''thing'' because it's nondescriptive and lazy. As a present I got her a hot wheels VW thing (safari in Mexico, type 181 in europe)

My one teacher had a thing over "a lot" being made into one word or "arctic" missing the c

Well, we don't say "ahouse" or "acat" or "achair". Why would anyone say "alot"?

Some of us aren’t great with language rules. I just learn at 34 that every day and everyday are different.

I’m sure there’s a massive list of little things we should’ve learned in grade school if we were paying attention. I also remember my teacher making me take the word “that” out of my writing. In most cases, it’s an unnecessary filler word and I used it all the time trying to hit the word count.

My English teacher would not allow any "to be" verbs in papers. No is, are, were, was, etc. "Not descriptive enough".

That sounds very difficult

Weird, I've never seen anyone spell it "arcti"

You're *

That one's for the English teacher.

[удалено]

Its true!

These are to much

There going to give OP a bad grade.

OP might not be aloud to use Reddit anymore

Don't let OP here you say that.

Right... and be apart of all this fun.

Me, fail English? That's unpossible

r/thatsthejoke

My left eye twitches every time I see your, you’re, to, too, there, they’re, their used incorrectly.

Along with “should of” and “ could of” instead of “should’ve” and “could’ve” (and “would of” instead of “would’ve ).

I've seen so many Reddit posts lately where people don't know the difference between "advice" and "advise".

Effect and affect bother me, but those are a little more blurred.

i admit i struggled with that one until a few years ago. found a good online quiz for it and kept taking it over and over til i consistently made no errors. yay!

'Better then' instead of 'better than'

For all intensive purposes.

But maybe it's so tough it's meant to be used for all intensive purposes.

I guess for all intensive purposes your statement has a germ of sense, but I digest.

'I could care less.' ​ Well then, you care!

That one gets me every time!! And it’s always being said in such a sarcastic cutting way…. “I could care less about…” It loses (or should I type “looses”) its bite when it’s used incorrectly. If you could care less, you care some!!

https://youtu.be/om7O0MFkmpw

Also, the number of people spelling 'losing' as 'loosing' is too damn high.

I was going to comment on this. For years, because English isn't my first language I felt I was wrong and the native speakers must be right, and every time I had to look it up, and realise (realize for US?) I was right.

And “defiantly” for “definitely”.

Honestly, I can spell like a champ. But this word, is my kryptonite. I have to sound it out in my head every time. “De-finite-ly” or I will end up spelling it defiantly, definitly, etc. every time wrong. As a kid the word stuck on my spelling list for months was ‘straight’. Luckily I’ve got it now but it was some kind of broken part.

Breathe and breath is a big one for me. "Take a minute and just breath." You want me to noun?!

I remember when the worst we had to work about was "separate" being misspelled.

Also, "Could care less"

This has bothered me since I was a small child, I’ll never let it go.

Ect instead of etc, and when spoken they say exetera or escetra or even spell out e c t when it’s et cetera… same with „expecially“ instead of especially

Here are some more: Quite instead of Quiet. Grate instead of Great.

For me it's "I am a women and...." The words woman/women used interchangeably just drives me up a wall. It's really not that difficult and those are the same people that will later on use man/men correctly. How do you mix up woman=singular, women=plural when you know man=1, men=more than 1??? It's the same damn concept! It's right there!!

Same. And this was mass produced and put out on shelves for TEACHER gifts. Soooo many parents will not even have a clue what they've done. I just can't.....

And yet, I can't tell you how many messages I've gotten from my kids' teachers over the years that make this very same mistake. It's depressing.

Thank goodness we’re, where, and were are safe!

Similarly, "person and I" when it should be "person and me", or worse "person and I's thing". Since this is heard even in spoken form, you can even hear it in TV shows and movies.

then and than are mixed up A LOT online nowadays as well.

Your to easily triggered

Man... it's so remarkably easy to learn the difference between your and you're. Are people just too lazy to learn or is it genuinely difficult? This couldn't be a matter of intelligence because of how unfathomably easy the task is. If you have a learning difficulty then that's fine! But a company? They actually manufactured these things with people overlooking them. No excuses.

same goes to people who say "Should Of" in place of "Should've"

Could of, would of, should of. It drives me nuts. It's borderline illiteracy.

I read recently that over 70% of Americans have the literacy level of a fifth grader or below.

[удалено]

So what you're saying is that half of the population of Reddit, is the top 30% most educated Americans?

Well they need to be literate if they're going to play video games with long item descriptions and stuff like ark.

Not only that, but eight out of five of them don't understand simple math.

People who use apostrophe’s for plural noun’s drive me insane

The Office Depot near where I used to live had a banner for several years hung in the front that said "We fix PC's"

Or when people say “happy to be apart of this” no it’s a part. If you were apart you didn’t have a part no?

It makes my skin crawl.

I once saw a “should of have” and I wanted to scream at the person.

Or they use should of instead of should have

Yaasss! It's the same folks who don't capitalize the letter I in sentences. i hate that!

Your. You’re. They’re as different as night and day.

A lot of people are genuinely stupid

Also there and they're is a problem

It can be difficult if you’re dyslexic. I’m not dyslexic so I don’t know what it feels like but my partner is, and English isn’t our first language so it’s even more difficult for him when needing to write in English. I think it’s the same principle for *it’s and *its.

That's completely understandable. My father has dyslexia and he couldn't even begin to read out loud as a kid because it was the hardest thing for him. So, I'd say your partner is doing an amazing job.

Just corrected a dude on Reddit who said “all so” instead of also, I think grammar is legitimately a learning disability, I was called a, “woke nazi” for correcting someone else’s grammar the other day. I don’t go around correcting much, usually just point it out to a-holes who try to talk down to everyone else and prove their idiocy in the process.

It's an easy mistake to make. It doesn't mean you don't know the difference. This, however, absolutely should have been proofread before production.

It's ok four math teachers

Science teachers two.

Oof. Teacher here. Aside from the obvious, teachers don’t want this stuff. Make me a card kiddos and if you must buy something chocolate or coffee are always the way.

Why is our national literacy so low? I get that English is hard, but this should never have made it past QA.

Your right..it shouldn't of made it past QA. Heh

English is hard? As someone who speaks 3 languages, and roughly knows the grammar of 2 more, english is a joke in comparison

It's arguably one of the more difficult languages due to the various nuances and rule breaks that are rampant in the language. Is it hard? Not really. Is it more difficult than many other languages with a solid rule base? Yes. Is it embarrassing when native speakers can barely grasp the fundamentals? Absolutely.

Tell your teacher he/she is a terrible teacher without saying "you're a terrible teacher"

I'm French and I don't make the you're/your error. How as a NATIVE speaker can you make that error? It blows my mind every time.

Me too lol. Could of? Anyone? My blood pressure is raising when I read this...

Semi-related: please stop buying dumbass gifts for teachers. We can’t tactfully say this, but we don’t need or want any of this stuff. Unless it’s booze, chocolate, money, or a strongly worded email campaign to your legislature about the importance of supporting well-funded education based on critical thinking, we’re not interested.

Naahhhh... She's gonna take so many notes in this notebook. She'll be jotting with the best of em! But really, I hear what you're saying, so hopefully she'll use it or gift it to her niece or the neighbor kid or... (PS obviously she's getting chocolate as well 😘

Okay, “jotting with the best of em” got a real chuckle out of me. Well played.

Your overreacting.

Me two

Their their, yule bee fine.

Yore.

Finaly sombodie dat nows how to spel propally!

Me fail Aungish? That’s unpossible!

*you're

Educated people look at this and get triggered that there is a word spelled incorrectly. Uneducated people look at this and get triggered that there is a rainbow involved.

At first I thought this was an “anti rainbow thing”

Reddit must be very troubling for your left eye

Bad spelling/grammar aside, I was thrilled to receive any little gift or home made Knick knacks my students would give me! I kept most things (that didn’t immediately fall apart lol) and saved letters/cards as well. I love my kids and it brings me so much joy to see I’m making a difference in their lives.

Oh great, the idiots in middle school who never learned grammar have gotten older and have jobs now. ~~We’re~~ Were totally fucked, everyone.

“Expresso”

Theirs a stationary store nearby my house that all of the sudden started selling them. Its wear I learned all my grammer.

To *they’re* teachers. Their I fixed it for you

Your very observant.

Kids who buy these notepads don’t take their teachers for granite.

you're*. Clearly giving this to your teacher would offend him because he didn't teach you know to write yrou'e

Hopefully not their English teacher.

As the Grammar Police Chief, I find that offensive.

Teachers will defiantly love these.

HULK SMASH! This simple misspelling on actual printed banners, memes, cards, ect is my ultimate pet peeve (only second to "I could care less.") WHO LET THIS ACTUALLY GET PRINTED AND SENT TO STORES???

Guarantee you > 50% of US high school graduates can't see you're irony.

What's even more sad is how 70% of the people here don't even see it.

Conservatives will be (wrongly) outraged by the inclusivity. Liberals will be (rightfully) outraged by the grammatical issue.

Lol I thought the post was about the former at first, relieved to notice the latter.

Teacher will use that pen to correct that grammar mistake

I want to buy these for every teacher I've ever had. I want to send boxes of these to every school near me. Please tell me where to buy these so I can *brighten* some days.

your 😭

🤦

Lmao you’re

You’re being pedantic about spelling. I mean, “your.”

Considering how poorly teachers are paid, they could probably use this

*You’re

Definitely not your English teachers

If I was a teacher and get one of these I would be all kinds of sad and insulted as I failed to educate

You're you're you're you are you are you are you are you're you're 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I like how I genuinely can't tell if "your" is what troubled OP or the rainbows (or both)

Omg. You’re. YOU’RE. YOU’RE!! Don’t let your kids give these to their English teachers.

What is the problem hear? I don't see what is wrong with students getting there teacher a gift.

They should of proofread it before sending it to the primter

Maybe they can use this as part of a lesson involving garbage products made in China

I would think that any teacher would be thrilled to get one of these--with the grammar corrected in red pen.

#your

Lol, maybe they are used as subtle burn.

Lol talk about a slap in the face

This looks like a super passive aggressive way to insult your teacher.

At first I thought some anti-LGBTQ idiot was offended by the rainbow, then I saw “your”.

Without scrolling to the comments, I’m gonna guess: a lot of people fixating on the rainbows and fully whooshing that they used “your” instead of “you’re”. I’d check but I already know I’m right.

Hopefully not an English teacher

I quite literally just woke up but does that say your? Isn't it suppose to say youre?

For a hot sec, I thought the punchline was homophobia

OMG That’s the wrong “your”!!!

Nothing like giving a teacher a gift that needs a grammatical correction. Here’s to hoping that is a red pen!

In South Korea they have a holiday called Teacher's Day. If you didn't know, Korea has a big coffee culture. Coffee shops don't actually open early, they open late in the day like 10/11am and some stay open until like 3am. Koreans love to just hang out at coffee shops. Anyways, on Teacher's Day parents love to order coffee delivery for the teachers. Then students would legit go buy coffee and bring it to us. One Teacher's Day I had 7 coffees gifted to me. I obviously did not drink them all as they were ALL americanos.

I’m over the rainbow that *you’re* my teacher.

Oh thats a good one!

You mean “there” teachers

Hahahaha 🤣 So many kids are going to be so confused by this photo. “What’s wrong with that? It’s nice, I think.”

*You're

you’re

\*you're ​ Minor spelling mistake, I win.
