This is why I am probably better off not pursuing English literature at the graduate level. I could never ever write something like this. I could understand it, at least, and though it took me a zillion rereadings of Possession, I don't think I missed anything Burgass pointed out.
When my sister was home, she looked at the cards on the mantel. My mother's husband got a Christmas card from his boss, with a gift certificate to a local restaurant and a note: "Your awesome." BDL is a high school janitor, which makes his boss a high school principal. My sister clearly is not always the Good Daughter, because she was disgusted by this. My mother said she had noticed as well but not said anything because BDL was so pleased by present and compliment.
Having bad grammar and spelling doesn't make you a bad human being. It just means you shouldn't be in education.
We got a card from a family whose mother, who has a B.A. in elementary education, is homeschooling her young brood. The return address, on a preprinted label, read The Brood's.
The other day I glanced at a stack of address labels in the Dot Org mailroom. Dot Org works closely enough with government entitites to warrant printed address labels to capital cities, to offices near capitols, yet Dot Org, someone at Dot Org, cannot distinguish between "capital" and "capitol"? And I, happening by to photocopy something, was the first to notice the error in a stack of labels half gone?
