Advertising. Like it or not, it appears around and threaded through what you read here on myLot. It helps pay the few ¢ we get for spending our time here commenting on, responding to or liking what others write. They could at least get the grammar right, though, as the superlative example above shows.

@Orson_Kart Down the tubes, but not so much of a flash in the pan.

Somebody has to go down there, I guess. Just passing through, you might say...

This is common here pgn. No there is no excuse for it, but it is very common and accepted even. (over here)

@pgntwo I cringe everyday, but what can I do, I am surrounded with it. Hence the lottery ticket.

And no only got one number.

@TiarasOceanView Yeah, only one number here too. Alas. Still, there's always next week

Proper grammar? You're kidding, right? I don't think proper grammar occurs to a lot of people. Somehow they think in terms of "its a mistake, I'm human deal with it" instead of trying to do a better job.

You have a point. Ignorance is perhaps the issue.

I have been seeing commercial from a service provider here. And I know that it will certainly help a site like this.

It's mostly correct, except for the "most" - funniest is already the superlative form of funny. The funny thing is, the more you think of it, the funnier it gets ;)
