Not where the name came from. Nor am I part of a moose and squirrel team. And by the way, I’ve never watched neither the Rocky movies, nor the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.
… I did NOT chose the name after Rocky Balboa. I am so bloody sick of people assuming that, or asking me where Bullwinkle is. I got the name from scout camp, so lay the f*** off.
Whoops… Sadly, the only way I can defend that one is that I type faster tan the keys can register some of the time, or I don’t hit the keys hard enough. Well caught.
the scary part isn’t even the question. i’m willing to bet that the “answer” is probably wrong and will incorrectly screen out the people who insert the correct word. THAT would be the real fail.
Regardless of whether it is or not is of no real consequence… The sad truth of the matter is that too many people are unable to provide the correct answer.
They left their stuff over there, and now they’re trying to get back there because it’s good stuff. One is a cat who wants its catnip back. The other two are dogs who want their bones back too.
These are homophones. (words that share the same pronunciation, irrespective of their spelling or meaning)
Homonyms are, according to Wikipedia, ” in the strict sense, one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings.”
People who misuse homo- terms piss me off to no end!
YOU’RE! This is what I’m talking about! Your is possessive, and you’re is you are. So yeah, I’m not in possession of wrong, sorry.
There is placement. Their is possession. And they’re is they are. So no, I am not wrong.
Sorry, but one of the things that irritates me the most is misuse of grammar. And I interpreted it as him putting emphasis on your, instead of purposefully misusing it.
You don’t deserve to be commenting on a comedy (well, OK, I know that’s debatable…) website. It’s so OBVIOUSLY meant to be a joke (well, “joke”) that it’s painful.
I agree with Rocky. The number of people who can’t use proper grammar is staggering, especially since the dawning of the internet. People need to take there time and think about what their writing so they don’t look like a idiot.
I’m sorry if I’d rather expand my mind, creativity, and everything else important, rather than go to a party. I’m not the partying type, so it’s better that I don’t go. I don’t want to ruin the fun for everyone else.
Funnily enough, SuD, your “*IM*proper” use of grammar there, in that case at least, is quite proper. And I still don’t think that misusing grammar is amusing… :/
It is, it is… If your mental, or indeed, real age is under 7. Which seems to be that of most users of the Fail cicuit. But then, it keeps them (or should I say “us”?) amused, what with mental age being what it is…
But you see, people mocking improper grammar and people who only know improper grammar usage are basically the same, except the people doing the mocking have the knowledge. Choosing not to use that knowledge makes them, at least in my eyes, worse than the people that don’t know any better.
Well, it is unlikely to find a well-made sentence on this website. You might want to write books and bring home the bacon instead of wasting your time on correcting people’s mistakes.
I’ve been writing books, and need to find a person that edits well. I can’t really do it myself, sadly, since I don’t catch the mistakes that I’ve made. That, and it’s fun to come on here and harass people by fixing their mistakes. In the beginning, I was getting annoyed. Now? I’m just plain having fun.
Man, why can’t we have this instead of those CAPCHAS that are written in a font that a human can barely read and have to refresh ten times before they can get one they can read.
Win what? *innocent smile* I’m not losing anything, except respect for the human population as a whole. Which, to be honest, I didn’t have much of to begin with.
I think its there.
*it’s
^this
No, it’s is correct. “I think it is there” sounds a lot more natural than “I think this is there.”
Way back in #3, I wish Mr T. knocked you the fook out, good and proper… and you stayed down.
Not where the name came from. Nor am I part of a moose and squirrel team. And by the way, I’ve never watched neither the Rocky movies, nor the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.
+1 for acceptable humor, however, I’m now thinking #4, you should’ve stayed down when Dolph knocked you the fook out.
… I did NOT chose the name after Rocky Balboa. I am so bloody sick of people assuming that, or asking me where Bullwinkle is. I got the name from scout camp, so lay the f*** off.
Could I have a box of those thin mints please?
Out of season. Wait until January, then you might have better luck.
Hey, Rocky! Weren’t you in Rocky?
No, I was not. And I shall henceforth be found as Semira, as I’m getting tired of all the Rocky refs.
Were you named after Rambo?
Who?
*choose
Whoops… Sadly, the only way I can defend that one is that I type faster tan the keys can register some of the time, or I don’t hit the keys hard enough. Well caught.
I their got they’re thing wrong.
Huh?? You’re not making any sense.
Your not making any sense!
… It’s “you’re.” And the original comment here doesn’t make a shred of sense.
“Your” was obviously intentional.
Only problem is the correct answer is the one most often used incorrectly in place of the other two.
That’s kind of the point.
^this
5 people so far didn’t get it right.
They’re hear…
Here, not hear… Hear is a verb, and here is a preposition.
Hear is what you do with your ear. That is why ear is part of hEAR.
They’re doing a good job over there by keeping all the morons off their service.
the scary part isn’t even the question. i’m willing to bet that the “answer” is probably wrong and will incorrectly screen out the people who insert the correct word. THAT would be the real fail.
Zing!
Oh no XANA is still alive!!!
This is a shop
Regardless of whether it is or not is of no real consequence… The sad truth of the matter is that too many people are unable to provide the correct answer.
HAHAAHAHA PENIS!!!
They’re stuffing up their stuff there…
“Look over there their they’re.”
Look over there, there they are. Please don’t try using proper grammar incorrectly. It doesn’t make you seem smart, it shows that you’re an idiot.
Hey, Rocky! Weren’t you in Rocky III?
They left their stuff over there, and now they’re trying to get back there because it’s good stuff. One is a cat who wants its catnip back. The other two are dogs who want their bones back too.
I <3 you and your proper usage of grammar.
I’d like to know what percentage of people would get this wrong.
A depressingly large number, which gets larger the younger you go. Though, to be fair, we shouldn’t be counting people under 10 or 12.
*Dare
So, that’s meant to keep idiots out and allow computers and non-idiots to get in?
Ahí hay un hombre que dice ¡ay!.
Correct answer: There. People that misuse these, and other homonyms, piss me off to no end. This is one of the best screening processes EVER!
Hey, Rocky! Weren’t you their in Rocky?
It’s “there,” not “their.” You, unfortunately, would likely not make it past this screening process. :/
Understanding a joke fail.
*these and other homonyms piss….
Nope. If you take out the clause in the commas, the sentence still makes perfect sense. Also, I wanted the pauses there.
NEWS FLASH: Rocky is homonymophobic!!
Nope, I just take serious issue with the misuse of grammar, accidental or otherwise.
These are homophones. (words that share the same pronunciation, irrespective of their spelling or meaning)
Homonyms are, according to Wikipedia, ” in the strict sense, one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings.”
People who misuse homo- terms piss me off to no end!
O.O I did not know that. Thank you for the info, and I shan’t misuse it again. Sorry about that…
What happens if *your* wrong?
YOU’RE! This is what I’m talking about! Your is possessive, and you’re is you are. So yeah, I’m not in possession of wrong, sorry.
There is placement. Their is possession. And they’re is they are. So no, I am not wrong.
Rocky – I think you missed the joke. Mike misused the word “your” intentionally.
Sorry, but one of the things that irritates me the most is misuse of grammar. And I interpreted it as him putting emphasis on your, instead of purposefully misusing it.
You don’t deserve to be commenting on a comedy (well, OK, I know that’s debatable…) website. It’s so OBVIOUSLY meant to be a joke (well, “joke”) that it’s painful.
I don’t see proper grammar usage as a thing to be joked about. I’m a writer, and I’m quite saddened to watch the decline of grammatical skills.
Dude, you need to lurk more. Improper grammar tends to be the running gag around hear.
Great…. There’s a reason I generally don’t go browsing this site. I just hoped that this page might have had some proper grammar, given the image.
You’re kidding right? On this type of website?
Foolish fool.
I will break you.
Have fun with that. I’m not exactly fragile. ^.^
Their, their.
Their what? Just wondering.
I agree with Rocky. The number of people who can’t use proper grammar is staggering, especially since the dawning of the internet. People need to take there time and think about what their writing so they don’t look like a idiot.
Jonny Pants, double check your usage of there and their. You just proved your own point.
He also said “a idiot.” Its called tr0lling. ($tupid m8ds)
You can lern more about it in these demonstration:

You must be loads of fun at parties.
Don’t go to parties. Much prefer curling up with a good book. Much more entertaining.
His point….
I’m sorry if I’d rather expand my mind, creativity, and everything else important, rather than go to a party. I’m not the partying type, so it’s better that I don’t go. I don’t want to ruin the fun for everyone else.
On the contrary, we’re making fun of *IM*proper use of grammar, and *your* still not getting the joke.
Funnily enough, SuD, your “*IM*proper” use of grammar there, in that case at least, is quite proper.
And I still don’t think that misusing grammar is amusing… :/
It is, it is… If your mental, or indeed, real age is under 7. Which seems to be that of most users of the Fail cicuit. But then, it keeps them (or should I say “us”?) amused, what with mental age being what it is…
Yeah… I’m in college, and since I’ve kept quite a few friends from suicide, I’ve matured at least a little bit beyond my true age.
Its not like the world is going too end if people keep mocking bad grammer.
But you see, people mocking improper grammar and people who only know improper grammar usage are basically the same, except the people doing the mocking have the knowledge. Choosing not to use that knowledge makes them, at least in my eyes, worse than the people that don’t know any better.

Everyone above this line is up their
Well, it is unlikely to find a well-made sentence on this website. You might want to write books and bring home the bacon instead of wasting your time on correcting people’s mistakes.
They’re their friends over there!
I’ve been writing books, and need to find a person that edits well. I can’t really do it myself, sadly, since I don’t catch the mistakes that I’ve made. That, and it’s fun to come on here and harass people by fixing their mistakes. In the beginning, I was getting annoyed. Now? I’m just plain having fun.
I edit for fun and profit.
I started on lolcats 3 years ago. It took me a while to get used to lolspeak and the utter abandonment of grammar.
But now, ai can haz fun wivvit.
Am I the only one who sees the theiy’re’s are moving?
They just appear to be moving. If you stare at just one, they don’t move. Pretty sure it’s just an optical illusion.
Man, why can’t we have this instead of those CAPCHAS that are written in a font that a human can barely read and have to refresh ten times before they can get one they can read.
Totally agree. Maybe those sites don’t want to let anyone it?
Message for Rocky:
Its to late. Their gone a win. Cut you’re losses.
Win what? *innocent smile* I’m not losing anything, except respect for the human population as a whole. Which, to be honest, I didn’t have much of to begin with.
