If I wrote a textbook, it'd be called English is Mean. As a teacher, parent, and ESOL tutor, I often told students, kids, and tutees (?!) that English is mean. Here are a few of my favorite examples. Add your own! and, please contribute through PayPal

Even the greats fall prey to typos.
Huh? No, that’s hilarious. Ollie, who plays Dog, played his last scene last week. He is very not CGI.
He’s gorgeous, and incredibly sweet. Hang on, let me go and read the article.
(Goes and reads.) (Counts five untrue statements before the article starts. I like the bit where David goes off to his trailer for an hour. I think we probably lost five minutes while the medic checked his leg, and he never left the set.)
On the CGI thing, as soon as we realised that in the scene David was doing, Ollie was getting overexcited, and he thought he was meant to do what he’d been trained to do the last time he was on that location, we knew we couldn’t do the scene again with Ollie in it in later takes. So we put down green markers to show where where Ollie was, after that, and we’ll drop in Ollie from other takes if we need them.
