I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed that this girl used the wrong "to" (should be too), skipped on the apostrophe in "im" ... and, here's the kicker, misspelled "retarted" and "dunk."

Craigslist Fail I
Craigslist is kind of an easy target, but I couldn't help myself. I love angry messages that are grammatically incorrect. In this person's case, he/she didn't know the difference between plurals and possessives.
DUIN Fail III
The DUIN staff apparently doesn't know how to use semicolons properly.
From the article "Where the green is at" on page 30:
"A 'green product' is defined as something that is made, and shipped, environmentally friendly; meaning no airplanes or trucks spewing fumes to pollute the Earth."
Semicolons are used to connect TWO INDEPENDENT CLAUSES. "Meaning no airplanes or trucks spewing fumes to pollute the Earth" isn't independent because it relies on the first half of the sentence to get its meaning across.

IM Convo Fail
From an online friend who shall remain nameless:
"first we went out to dinner than we went to see watchmen"
The word "than" implies a comparison. "Then," on the other hand, refers to time.

DUIN Fail II
From the DUIN Survey
"Where did the name Olmsted come from anyways?"
"Anyways" kills me. It always has and it always will. There's nothing plural about an anyway. There is only one. ANYWAY.

Blackboard Fail
However, I think that THERE reference that "the dogs try to take over the mouth of the investigation hound by filling it with food so he'll stop asking questions" is very political.
AHHH! THERE reference? NO! THEIR reference!

Realtor Fail
Ok, I shamelessly stole this off the internet, but I really couldn't resist.
I guess while I'm here I could also point out the following...
First sentence:
1. "dont" needs an apostrophe.
2. It's posing a question and should therefore end with a question mark.
Second sentence:
1. "this" - should be capitalized
2. "and look at the price!" should be set off with an em dash and not a hyphen
Third sentence:
1. "Near new and down a quiet Cul De Sac" - The wording is awkward (change to "Fairly new," maybe?).
2. "Cul De Sac" is hyphenated and not capitalized.
3. "North" - not capitalized
4. Not a full sentence
Fourth sentence:
1. "dont" needs an apostrophe
2. Needs end punctuation after "again"
