Wordsplosion!
My wife Sarah and I were in Wal-Mart last night, when we saw someone walking around with a shirt that said “Girl’s go’in wild.” We had a good chuckle over the atrocious and arbitrary punctuation. Then I thought “hey, this might make for a good blog.”
4 hours later, Wordsplosion was online. It’s pretty amazing that you can go from idea to execution in a matter of hours using WordPress. Wordsplosion showcases “the best of the worst of the wide world of words.” It contains (and will continue to contain) all manner of grammatical errors, punctuation gaffes, misspellings, horrible typography, etc. It’s LOL cats for smart people.
I used the amazing Journalist theme as a base. Go check it out!

Way amusing, Mark. I laughed my fat off. My favorite is the note from the eight grader, and it brought back an amusing memory.
More than a few years ago, my then-teenage daughter brought home a note from a person who liked her–I mean, a secret admirer LOL–that had her hormones raging. She insisted I read it, which I did aloud, pronouncing the words as written. I still tell her to this day, “Honey, you have the face of an angle.”
You and the Mrs. sound like my kind of whacked-out, but literate, people.
Best regards,

This is a really good blogging idea, and I hope it turns out better than my user submitted internet slang dictionary http://www.outofmymouth.com has done.
