I’ve seen this kind of illiterate crap a LOT, especially in Texas. Its the people born there, some of these twits are proud to be illiterate.

The error is clearly a second language issue. The person who wrote this is applying the grammar rules of their own language to English. I make similar mistakes when I butcher some of my other languages.

Fluent speakers make different sorts of mistakes than second language learners. It is not racist to infer that the person making these mistakes is a foreigner. It may be racist, however, to mock them.

poomagoo, it’s not racist to assume people with English as their second language aren’t as fluent in English as native speakers.

you’re being overly PC in your attempt to not offend anybody and you’re just coming off as an idiot.

It’s pretty fucked up how people assume automatically it’s an immigrant. Fuckin’ racists… One look at the spelling/grammar on the internet in general will show you that most Americans can’t spell and don’t use proper grammar. And David brings up a good point - how many Americans actually speak a second language (which is likely easier to learn than convoluted-ass English)?

Would be very interesting to see how many Americans go abroad and learn the local language.One wonders how many of the ‘chucklers’ on here have a second language. Scratch that. Some of you have a tenuous grip on the English language. Let’s not tax those meagre brains ay? One language at a time..

We are forgetting that those who can spell probably have jobs where they don’t need to hand write “out of order” on anything.

I wish that when I saw stuff like this, that I had the imagination to grade it or something. Very funny.
