    The only person she is insulting is herself.

    Anyways, grammar usually does not bug me, but with public figures or mass produced wastes of money, yes, grammar is important. But if you're a fan of self-deprecating humor, go for it.

    She probably got the shirt from Primark, and wrote it herself.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    I try not to bug people too much about grammar, but when you make a shirt, shouldn't you check your spelling and such? I also noticed this in a novel I was reading, a NOVEL! It was a good book, but writers should know the difference.

    On the flip side. Be a grammar Nazi. it's much more fun, and perhaps might make this world a little bit more intelligent. Keep it up, and whenever you see someone that has smurfed up, tell them, cause they deserve to know. Also, don't forget to throw in an insult.

    I think grammar and spelling are really important! So I guess I can be a bit of a nazi, always correcting and telling people off! XD I try and say it nicely, but its usually when I'm dealing with stuff at work cos I think it's important to be professional. That shirt sounds stupid to begin with even if it had correct grammar <3

    Online I never write perfectly anyway, and I never use punctuation/apostrophes/caps properly so it doesnt bother me if other people do!

    I'm hot. Your not. Aren't even proper sentences to be honest, then you mention the 'Your' and then my eyes bleed. I'm not to fussy about grammar and spelling on the internet as long as it is readable and not a bunch of leet speak but when you're making a t-shirt, I agree, you should atleast check your spelling and grammar!

    Well atleast it didn't say "UR NOT!". That would make my eyes bleed.

    I constantly correct my friends' grammar mistakes. My roomie asked me "Where's my keys?" yesterday, to which I responded: "Where is your keys, or where <i>are</i> your keys?"

    Ive sometimes got "your" and "you're" wrong, as they are said the same, sometimes you just forget.

    I see what you mean though, if its a bloody Tshirt.

    I'm a grammar nazi as well :P It can be annoying but then again, I have OCD, so that could be why I'm such a nazi about it.

    Ahh, another girl proving that not only is she not hot at all, but a trashy cooze with no ability to detect grammatical errors.

    Sorry. Anyway, I, too, notice these things. I wish I didn't when there is a particularly egotistical teacher with an error written on the board.

    My cousin sends me essays he writes for his English classes. I edit them for fun. Take a wild guess as to how I feel about grammar.

    That aside, I try not to force anything on other people, especially online. Unless someone's grammar and spelling is so absolutely terrible that I cannot understand what he or she is saying, I don't feel the need to point out trivial mistakes. It does, however, take a conscious effort not to make such corrections; sometimes I slip.

    I'm not really too bothered about grammar. One thing that really annoys me though, is when people mispell "lose" as "loose".

    In casual conversation online, perfect grammar isn't all that important.

    I do think, if you're trying to make money off something, you should try to do it right. Come on, that t-shirt would be stupid enough without the blaring mistake on it. You don't see McDonalds saying "Have You Had You're Brake Today." You'd laugh at them.

    I've heard that English-speaking people sometimes say "you is", and while it definitely isn't proper grammar it IS easy to understand.

    ...whereas the whole "your not" thing just makes me feel sick.

    If someone learned English as her primary language and use "you is," sheobviously didn't learn the language very well. It's understandable for someone learning the language to make that mistake, but otherwise using the proper form of verb should be no less than second nature.
