Ran across this from someone “edumacated” at a state university who was then in an admin position there for some time:
“It was predicted that we would see outbreaks of the diseases that we had nearly irradiated [sic] come back with a vengeance with all the illegals coming across our Southern boarder.! [sic]”
“Irradiated”?!?
Oh, and the cute lil period-exclamation point punctuation.
*gagamaggot*
(No links or names. I just can’t do that to this person. . . )
I think it’s probably a case of an “educated” person thinking they don’t need a proofreader. They may have had someone taking dictation who was a low grade moron – perhaps one of those speech recognition programs.
Or I could just be giving them too much credit.
Perri, you are too kind.
