Instructify

The English Fale Fail Blog might be just the thing if you love those silly LOLCats as much as I do, but get a kick out of that other undying meme known only as FAIL. The idea is simple, a photo or video that captures a moment of utter failure in an attempt to do something commonplace. For instance, a photo of a semi truck taking out a sign that says Clearance 16′ needs only the caption FAIL to let us know that some dummy thought he could do something that was clearly impossible, or at the very least, implausible. There’s also the caption EPIC FAIL, which denotes a failure on a much higher level.

There are examples all over the ‘Net, but one special blog has decided to concentrate on the moments in which the English language is marred, bastardized and downright butchered. The occurrences are more often than not found on handwritten signs and notes, but occasionally, the English language is damaged more thoroughly on a fixed structure such as a menu or a tattoo.

All of the pictures on EnglishFailBlog.com are user-submitted, so if you see an instance that you know is a travesty of English misuse, you could find your find on the site. Though some of the submissions are of gross translations, there are still plenty of examples of why being a good teacher now can prevent this kind of ridiculousness in the future. -JEREMY S. GRIFFIN
