Man 'grapples' with the idea that he MIGHT NOT be right!

A man in his early forties has lost his ability to speak and can only "grunt" after a female colleague proved him wrong.

Neil Arrowgrance is now "struggling" with his pride as he's been proven to be an incorrect speller. Daisy Hegworth witnessed "the moment" at Essex County Council Headquarters. "Someone pointed out how to spell 'necessary'. Neil insisted they were wrong. Neil then looked it up on google, and then he couldn't utter a word."

Meanwhile our news team spoke to Keith Wright, expert in Self-Righteous Syndrome (the belief that one is ALWAYS in the right), who confirms that the effects of someone with SRS being proved wrong can include: "vomiting", "making attempts to eat one's hat" and "shaking".

A spokesperson from HR at Essex County Council is currently dealing with the matter: Miss Patchdit reports that "it is very difficult to help staff to overcome these problems. Mr Arrowgance is still trawling through every dictionary online- just to make sure he isn't right."

Dangerous grammar snobs are on the loose!

There's been a number of grammar snob 'sightings' at various locations in the UK.

The CEO of Facebook gave a clear warning last night. 'On a Facebook timeline near you, a grammar snob is lurking. Waiting.  He/She could be hiding behind a YouTube video or Huffington Post ad. NOONE is safe, they get you when you're most vulnerable.'

According to the BBC Watchdog, a grammar snob, 'may use a mug with grammar teachings on the side, they almost NEVER use abbreviations like OMG and are quite often boring and strict teachers.'

However, the Royal Society Of Good English Grammar 'objects' to the criminalisation of good grammar usage, 'why shouldn't we use the Queen's English correctly? We should not assume that everyone wants to embrace the world of LOL and BFF!'

A representative of the Facebook media team informed the public that they would 'endeavour' to erase all false grammar news as it was 'concerned' that some grammar snobs were giving incorrect information about how to use an apostrophe.
