trinsy: (awkward)
So in my university's cafĂ©, there is a bulletin board where people write comments and then the management posts a response.  So today while I was waiting for my burger (a long wait, since the employees work painfully slowly), I read some of the comments and in the responses I begin to pick out such choice phrases as, "Thank you for your kind words about are Student Manager..." and "Do to your request..."

And, okay, I can forgive the first one because I totally did that just a couple months ago when it was late at night and, you know, typos happen.  The second one I'm a little more wary about because I can totally believe that people at my university would think that's correct.  The winner for most stupid, however, has no excuse whatsoever, because aside from having the same prefix and suffix, the word that they wrote and the word that they meant are absolutely nothing alike.  Observe:

"We are taking steps to prevent this from being a requiring problem in the future."

I saw this and wept for mankind.
