You guys! I think you're intentionally making those gaffes to rile your old English teachers. Some people have accused me of being an English major, but my rank is much higher!

I must say that I am confused too

"It can happened to me ....It can happened to you"

Mixed tenses. Either remove the "can", or maybe use "has" in the first part, and drop the "ed" from the second part. "Can" is a future tense, "happened" is a past tense. It makes more sense as "It happened to me, it can happen to you."

The other one I caught right away was the wrong choice of words. I'm certain you meant "inspire" rather than "aspire." Often my aspirations are the root of my inspirations. That old Chicago song "You're My Inspiration" would have an entirely different meaning if they used "aspiration."

Someone else here confuses homonyms, like using "are" instead of "our."

It's just little things, but my brain stumbles over them when I see them. My wife complains that I'm too exacting with communications, and I suppose it's true. I don't mean to offend, I guess I'm just too precise for my own good. I must have been an editor or proofreader in a former life.

Well we are happy to have you here no matter what you may have been in a past life.

So are we going to discuss what we were in past lives, now.

Good, I was a dashing, rapscallion with long flowing....alright, so now were not going in that direction.

Always a day late and a brick shy of a full load, that's me (slinks away slowly, tail between the legs)

Isn't a rapscallion an onion that rhymes words to a beat??
