Mocking Poor Grammar
Since 2007
A noun that is formed from a verb and which describes an action. In English it ends in -ing, eg 'the baking of bread' and 'Smoking damages your health'.
This was added to our Flickr group by the incomparably vigilant Bob the Bolder.
It’s a cracking find from Bob that succeeds in failing at almost every opportunity. The name of the company is “Sparkle Parties” yet they manage to spell both these words wrong in the header.
The advertisment confirms its status as a complete waste of money by misspelling the URL of the company website.
Would any girls out there who liked to be glamours take a fascial from these people?
No? Thought not.
