So many errors in such a short sentence!

I’ve just seen the following post in a thread on Facebook:

“Wear is all the lady’s sue”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a high ratio of mistakes to words ?

“All” and “the” seem OK
Unclear why they are suing however grin

I agree, not much sense can be made out of that short sentence.

The poster was responding to a series of photo's uploaded by her friend "sue". These photo's were all of men. So I'm guessing she meant "Where are all the ladies, Sue? grin

Oh thanks for the translation, Bathsheba. I couldnt even begin to work it out.

I struggled with that one as well Bellanonna, there must be a prize for most mistakes in a short sentence. smile

Hilarious isn’t it? I think this one would be a strong contender for that prize sodapop ???

I think it is so sad that after going through years of the school system, this is the result. Is it because grammar and spelling are not corrected any more? I've even had letters from a solicitor's typist with really bad spelling.

It didn't make any sense to me, either. ?

Thank you for translating Bathsheba. I don't think I've seen so many mistakes in one sentence either.
