I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

This should be extended to all badly written English.

Many years ago a bunch of left wing students started up a shop in Southampton to help fund their activities. The students gave of their time freely to run the place and all profits were to go "to the cause". They determined to sell eco-friendly products only.
I called in there one day because they had a large, handwritten, sign displayed on the pavement. The sign read "Recycled Toilet Paper".
I asked who scraped it clean whistle:
They didn't understand what I meant. ::)
