Boy, oh boy. What fun you can have with the English language! Here are three blogs you can share with your students.
1. Terribly Write -- Looks at all the horrible grammatical mistakes that people make -- mistakes that are somehow published. http://terriblywrite.wordpress.com/
2. Unnecessary Quotation Marks -- Why do people feel the "need" to use unnecessary quotation marks?? Kind of a "fun" little blog. http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/
3. Engrish -- And this one is my personal fav. What happens when people try to translate words and sentences from Chinese and Japanese into English? Non-stop fun, that's what! http://engrish.com/

Thanks for mentioning Terribly Write. I feature the writing and editing of real professionals working for the "most trafficked site on the Web." Although it's fun to point out the mistakes of paid writers/editors (who should know better), I try to be informative in my explanations of the errors. Hope you continue to enjoy it and that your students find lots of examples of what NOT to do and why they shouldn't do it.
