qué divertido! - Issabela, Nov 22, 2009
Very cute kitty but the caption needs some work. It should read either "I am a ninja" or "I'm a ninja". "I am" and the contracted form "I'm" are the first person forms of the verb "to be". "Is" is the third person form. - elcielo, Nov 22, 2009
lol, at first I didn´t realize you were making a caption...I thought you were just warning people to use correct spelling when making their captions. - webdunce, Nov 22, 2009
Ironically, and perhaps intentionally, you misspelled attempt. ;-) - webdunce, Nov 22, 2009
Just a comment: LOL cats can't spell or use proper grammar - that is part of the joke. - Lasairfiona, Nov 23, 2009
You have a clever and wicked sense of humor, Heidita! LOL! Apparently it was a bit subtle, even with the Stickeys! - 0057ed01, Nov 23, 2009
omg...jejej, that was not intertional web, thanks, jeje, I am hopeless - 00494d19, Nov 23, 2009
I am new to the community and being a language site I thought I would contribute my (English) insight. In addition to ninja cats not being able to spell, looked for they can't be seen, listened for they can't be heard. - elcielo, Nov 23, 2009

So the p in psicopático is silent in Spanish also? - 0074b507, Nov 22, 2009
I had to check on that one because I used my Random House Latin Am. Spanish Dictionary, but according to Merriam-Webster, either spelling is acceptable. http://www.merriam-webster.com/spanish/psychotic - aloshek, Nov 22, 2009
Hey, that´s pretty good. - webdunce, Nov 22, 2009
In England we would spell it hyphenated, strait-jacket. - Eddy, Nov 23, 2009
Strait Jacket, Straitjacket, and Strait-jacket are all used in EE UU - aloshek, Nov 23, 2009
Congratulations aloshek, it was a very funny comment! - Zeb_Spanish, Nov 23, 2009

That's an awful big word to be misspelled. hahaha 'tupid redneck. - Seitheach, Nov 22, 2009

I think "your' and "you are" most be the must commonly mixed up spelling words besides "must and most" --- aaaah jaja you thought you had me, right? :-)) - 0068e2f4, Nov 22, 2009
Actually he might be able to fix it a little by putting an apostrophe between the U and the R. - 0068e2f4, Nov 22, 2009
Theirs no way to fix that. ;-) - webdunce, Nov 22, 2009
The canvas is scarier than the tattoo. I knew someone with a tattoo that had been mispelled, the mispelled word was supposed to have been the word Irish, not Iresh. - Zeb_Spanish, Nov 22, 2009
webdunce, "theirs"? I assume you did that intentionally, no? - aloshek, Nov 24, 2009

It´s an old joke I learned from my dad. :) - webdunce, Nov 22, 2009
And that reminds me of a siskel and ebert opening line...I think..."I laughed, I cried, I kissed five bucks goodbye." - webdunce, Nov 22, 2009

Color me blind but I don't see the error. - nizhoni1, Nov 22, 2009
The picture and caption is in responce to the spelling/grammar in the main post. The kitten's spelling errors led hiim to the grave. - aloshek, Nov 22, 2009

You too can wear the super sock for only two payments of $19.95! Like the little kitten here, it will make you look very stylish, but you wear also forgot how to speak English correctly.

¡Puedes llever el Súper Calcetín por dos pagos de $19.95! Cómo esta gatita, serás muy elegante, pero olvidarás cómo hablar íngles correctamente.
