In other news,

"Pikeville Kentucky spends entire 2012 fiscal budget on fake city key and plaque for John Calipari"

I was going to ask who the hell proofread that and gave it the OK, but then I realized you have to be able to read in order to proofread. So really, in fairness, I give whoever punched random keys hoping they'd make some sort of sense without knowing what any of the little symbols meant did a pretty good job, all things considered.

How DARE those other teams steal that trofee, I mean, trophy!

 

[JarHeadJim]

LOL I have been to Pikeville. It's best know for crystal meth, half the population is addicted to pain meds

 

[EastCoast2]

It's...... LMAO

The red-lined spelling mistakes are the funniest thing about this plaque .. not Pikeville.

The "th[e]" could be a typo. My favorite is the misuse of the apostrophe in the last phrase, "IT'S [rightful home]". It should be "its" (possessive).

Classic.

This UK ad over on the right side of the screen makes me sick. "Congrats Kentucky, 2012 NCAA Champions", then you can buy their gear. Pound salt.

Got to admit...its and it's have always been trippers for me...and I'll probably never figure out affect and effect.

But at least you would think to ask, or look up the correct spelling, before you had it etched into a trophy.

Sometimes effects affect us.

Sometimes effects affect us.

They're always going to be there.

I have two tickets to the game, too.

In my capacity as a teacher I maintain a list of grammar tips. Years ago I was helped out by a board member:

Another method of remembering the 2 ‘fects’ is:

Affect is the "a"ct of producing an effect.

(this mnemonic was supplied by AZOrange)

Maintenance bites me. I am still not convinced it should not be maintainence. Hell, that fools 3/4 of the population so you really can't go wrong.
