Lost in Translation: Awkward Signs from Around the World {Asylum}

Apr 11th 2008 7:00AM The caption below one photo reads: "Okay the spelling here is bad. But call us nerds, it's the four-period ellipsis that really bothers us."

What I find really amusing is that in that caption, there is a missing comma after the word "okay." Then, as written, there is a missing comma after the word "But." Actually, a better solution would be to have said "Okay, the spelling here is bad, but--call us nerds--it's the four-period ellipsis that really bothers us."

Finally, the four-period ellipsis is actually the correct form as shown in the sign, since the thought "Thank you . . . ." indicates an idea or statement that "trails off" and/or omits information before it leads eventually to the end of a sentence and a period. In this case, the fourth dot actually represents the period at the end of the sentence.

The use of proper English grammar is a dying art form, especially on the Internet. Oh, well . . . .

Britney's lip-plumping disaster {Stylelist}

Oct 26th 2007 10:14AM I am a woman with naturally full lips. If I'd been a celebrity, would the editors have put me in this gallery? Do I have "trout lips"?! I'm 47 years old. I find that most men LOVE my full lips. Maybe the author has skinny lips (which is its own cute look) and doesn't appreciate her own beauty. Maybe she wishes she had the nerve to "take whatcha got and make whatcha want." I agree regarding Lisa Rinna--many women just have naturally full lips. By the way, I don't know if Nancy Pelosi has had work done or not, but she is the picture of style and grace to me.
