Gigglebit: the grammar police

2 Jul 2014

Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note.

Like any sector, technology has a serious side, and it is often issues within this serious side that make headlines or that organisations need to explore for their business. Malware! Data breaches! Cloud storage! Do I really need this software? What candidate has the best IT skills for this job, and what the heck is fog computing?

With Gigglebit, we turn the spotlight on humorous and/or amazing content about science and tech, because sometimes the lighter side should be taken seriously, too.

Today we share an image that is doing the rounds reminding people using the internet to watch their grammar. The ability to self-publish on social media or personal blogs is leading to all kinds of crimes against language in general. But it is good to know that somebody is watching.
