philosoraptor42A collection of photos of poor spelling at the teabaggers' protest has the following description:
These are signs seen primarily at Tea Party Protests. They all feature "creative" spelling or grammar. This new dialect of the English language shall be known as "Teabonics."
You can find the whole collection here. But below are what I consider to be the highlights. (I've also followed each image with a comment from the flickr page):
I was going to honk until I saw your grandma's sign. : (
This is a common theme in the protests. Anti-immigrant sentiment based around the ability to speak English - with poor spelling.
amensty: where the swine go to pray. : )
Is amnesty so difficult to spell? Really?
I'd like to know how this person's chains feel America and what we can do to stop it.
The borror! THE BORROR!
dumb and dummer
What a way to honour your hero's profession. Apparently the t-shirts they are wearing spell "plumber" correctly.
It's neither elitist, nor overly intellectual, to possess the ability to spell the word "socialism."
Are they copying their bad spellings from one another?
Perhaps he thought he'd be taxed on extra letters?
ah, sh*t, ah ment tah do this afore ah started drinkin'
What cracks me up about this one is not just the extremely colourful clothing the guy is wearing, but also the high level of concentration on his face as he writes it. It doesn't look from the photograph like he's rushing this sign at all, yet anyone seeing the finished product would surely presume that was the case.
