A Horror movie for the grammar Nazi

Feel there could almost be a story about a ghost who lingers on Earth, mortified over an embarrassing grammatical error on their tombstone.

I watched this a second time last night and thought it could make a fun Halloween contest entry. Ghost of a former Literotica author hunts down the trolls who mocked her grammar.
 
~ (unearthly chuckle) ~ You will pay, anon6741, oh yes, you will pay. British English spelling is perfectly acceptable, you vile, ignorant perv. There's a u in colour, a u in honour, and now I'm going to stick a u so deep in you it will turn every time I spin in my grave...

There's a whoooole bunch to pick from, too! A lot of the older tombstones were pay-by-the-letter, so they're all kinds of messed up. As well as others that are simply mistakes.

Like Isaac Singer, Nobel laureate, buried as a Noble laureate by his wife, even after the company contacted the wife and said they thought she'd spelled it incorrectly.

Maybe it was a joke. When my wife and I had the inside of our wedding bands inscribed hers had the word "soulmate" it came back "Solemate" but because I have a killer foot fetish, she thought it was funny and didn't ask for it to be changed.

"Angry demon voice screaming as she grips the neck of the victim"
"You mocked my work for years! Called me illiterate, told me to go back to school! Did it never occur to you English could be my second language? Or that I could be dyslexic?"
"I'm sorry, have mercy!"
"No mercy for you, know why? Because there were typos in YOUR comments insulting my typos!"

Because this happens to me all the time, and I never fail to nod and say "Irony"

Yeah, it takes some skill to carve those. And if one makes a mistake, it can't easily be corrected. Just at random, I found this relatively new one (in England, I think) that has a lot of complicated writing on it. I mean, different fonts, different sizes, italics, parentheses - this family really took it seriously.

Great send-up. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see my particular pet peeve = "'s" for plurals. Drives me nuts, especially when I see it on professionally-painted signage.

Seven people on one tombstone really saves some money, I guess.

How deep is that grave? Yikes.

Not a funny story, but to the point. My best friend's mom passed away two years ago. She lived in Oregon. He flew out for a couple weeks took care of things, but it was winter so they couldn't set the stone yet. Long story short he gets a call from his sister three months ago because its the first time she'd been back there since the funeral and said not only was her last name spelled wrong, but they had her dying in 2024.

He was not happy and when he calls they pretty much wanted to charge him all over again for their error. His only other option would have been to find someone else and it would have been just as high so he and his sister split paying for the rework.

Another vote for cremation, save everyone money, trouble and drama.

My plan is to be eaten by my cats. Like sky burial but furry.

Just scatter my ashes in the ocean. Or even the Hudson River. Not the Harlem River, however. I guess I should tell someone about my wishes. Probably my daughter.

2024! Hard to get that one wrong. I think all of this drama about headstones and funerals and so forth - it's about people's sublimation of their own fear of death. Somehow they imagine that where their body is located gives them some kind of immortality - it's subconscious of course. Let's face it: when you are beyond anyone's living memory, no one is going to your gravesite. Unless maybe if you were Napoleon or Lenin.

I've always found wakes morbid, and when you're gone, you're past caring. Everything after you die, wake, funeral, a tombstone and people coming to see it are all for those left behind. Our death is final to us, to others the services are for closure, the grave for remembrance and in their mind a way to keep a connection, its all about them, not the departed.

LOL. You definitely married the right woman.

Maybe you just both like fish.

I've always found those open coffins morbid. For one of my grandfathers, we just saw him once and then we closed the lib. The funeral director recommended that we look that one last time if that was what we wished. For ther relatives and acquaintances - it's just weird to have them lying there in their box for hours (or days).

I have joked - not serious of course - that it would be fun if I could wear whatever I wished while lying in the coffin. (And I'd have to tell someone first to make the arrangements.) One item might be one of those T-shirts that say, "Do I Look Like I Give A Shit?" Other accessories might be a pair of those weird sunglasses with the slit lenses, a MAGA cap, and a corncob pipe. Too bad I wouldn't be able to see the reactions of the people coming to see my body.

Better than almost all the erotica book covers I've seen lately. From a 1955 movie.
