Fix the English to un-muddle the meaning.

What is one arguable stylistic change one could make?

Fix the spelling error.

Which words shouldn't be capitalized?

Agreed.

Fix the punctuation.

Iron Pussy

And now, you have the power.

Clean up all the English.

I remember that our church used to work with Church World Services.
(Also: fact-check this.)

I don't really advocate dropping illegals out of planes. Not really. Not really.

Never call that burd an "Okie." And where does the comma go?

Here's hoping. And how many hyphens do we need, and where do they go, and why?

Never stop with the taunting. It's the only way they learn.

  1. If I didn't know any better, I might think you posted memes just to pick at their punctuation and grammar errors.

    1. I'd love to create a grammar book that used memes as its focus, but there'd be copyright issues.

    2. Hmm. Yeah, I suppose that might be an issue. What about creating your own custom memes for that purpose? You could replicate some of the common mistakes without having to worry about stepping on copyright toes. Not quite the same as spotting errors "in the wild," but it might be interesting.

    3. Yeah, that might actually be a good use of AI image-generation, which I could then refine with Photoshop. I assume I'd hold the copyright on the generated image, but I'd have to look into that. Even creating memes the old-fashioned way probably involves copyrighted imagery, but since it's not to earn money, I think it's considered "fair use." Since I want to make money on whatever book I make, images would need to be 100% original. So the question is whether AI images created with my prompts qualify as 100% original.

    4. AI says this about AI:

      AI-generated content isn't protected by U.S. copyright laws. But there are still a lot of legal questions to untangle. At the moment, works created solely by artificial intelligence — even if produced from a text prompt written by a human — are not protected by copyright.
