Stuff like this makes you just shake your head. It is crazy that people like this tell people to learn to speak English, but they seem unable to use English grammar.

is that the sticker was probably NOT made in America, and thus was made by someone who most likely doesn't speak English.
Which at least gets the manufacturer off the hook for teh stooped. Maybe.

... (with a nod to Word Salad Sarah) I would love to know why people, who otherwise speak reasonably well, say "Me and him went to the movies," but would never say "Me went to the movies."

I have also heard an increasing number of people make a possessive out of I", as in "John and I's vacation." Talk about fingernails on a chalkboard - yeeeeeeeeeeeesh!

I wish this thread were 200 replies long. I love stuff like this.
