*[[The Luau]] &mdash; Strong Bad misspells "you're" as "your" on the invitation to his marshmallow roast.

Although [[Strong Bad]] is quite obsessive about everyone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling, grammar, and punctuation]], he still '''makes some of the same mistakes himself'''. Additionally, he has a tendency to make up words, usually during his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. It may be [[The Brothers Chaps]]' fault for some of these mistakes, as they are rarely acknowleged in toons.
-
*[[some kinda robot]] &mdash; In his very first email, Strong Bad misspells "before you go to bed" as "before you ''got'' to bed."
+
-
*[[i love you]] &mdash; ''Fhqwhgads'' is misspelled as ''Fhqwgads'', missing the h in between w and g.  This is ironic because Strong Bad [[sibbie|later]] complains about people misspelling it in emails.
+
-
*[[i she be]] &mdash; Strong Bad types the phrase "all i gotta say..."  [[Lowercase i's|The ''i'' isn't capitalized]].
+
-
*[[duck pond]] &mdash; Unfortunately, Strong Bad misspells ''unfortunately'' as ''unfortunatley''.
+
-
*[[band names]] &mdash; A space is added before, rather than after, a comma in this email: ''"the easiest way is to ,you know..."''
+
-
*[[Greeting Cards]] &mdash; Strong Bad types "its" instead of "it's."
+
-
*[[dullard]] &mdash; Strong Bad incorrectly uses the one-word adjective ''everyday'' instead of the two-word adverb ''every day''.
+
-
*[[techno]] &mdash; Strong Bad uses the possessive form of its instead of it's in the statement, "well, its not really my style."  Ironically, he later lampoons Dan D. through song in [[local news]] for the same mistake.
+
-
*[[dragon]] &mdash; After demonstrating how to draw Trogdor, Strong Bad says, "Let's see how the other students are doing." However, when he types it, he omits the word ''see''.
+
-
*[[interview]] &mdash; Strong Bad catches himself using the phrase "more better" in responding to Kerrek.
+
-
*[[the show]] &mdash; Not only does Strong Bad miss a question mark in this email (''"And what's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for."''), he also makes two capitalization errors while typing The Cheat's name. (He also begins a sentence with a conjunction but you don't seem to have a problem with that!)
+
-
*[[funny]] &mdash; At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad misspells the filename of his email client, strongbad_email.exe, as stongbad_email.exe. (This may be a reference to being called "Stong Bad" in [[50 emails]].)
+
-
*[[the process]] &mdash; After stating that he makes fun of people's poor grammar and spelling, Strong Bad promptly misspells the word ''occasionally'' as ''occassionally.''
+
-
*[[monument]] &mdash; After explaining that he was distracted by the Thnikkaman, Strong Bad omits a period: "So you can see why I got distracted".
+
-
*[[Cheatar]] &mdash; Strong Bad uses "than me" when he should use "than I am".
+
-
*[[pom pom]] &mdash; Strong Bad omits the [[Wiki:umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a" in ''Fräulein'' in his letter to "General and Fraulein Pom Pom." (Not all of us have a Deutsche keyboard on hand, princess.)
+
-
*[[pizzaz]] &mdash;  The accepted spellings of this email's title, ''pizazz'' and ''pizzazz'', are not used in this email.  Strong Bad not only misses this, he even uncharacteristically adopts the misspelling throughout the email.
+
-
*[[time capsule]] &mdash; Strong Bad types "your hot single Mom" at one point.  In this situation, after the possessive "your," mom doesn't need to be capitalized.
+
-
*[[part-time job]] &mdash; Strong Bad neglects to use a question mark or quotation marks at the beginning: "What do you mean do I do anything else besides checking e-mails."
+
-
*[[origins]] &mdash; Curiously, Strong Bad misspells curiosity as ''curiousity''.
+
-
*[[garage sale]] &mdash; Strong Bad again unnecessarily capitalizes "mom".
+
-
*[[bottom 10]] &mdash; Though it is spelled properly in the bottom 10 list, the word ''chocolate'' appears as ''chocloate'' on Strong Bad's monitor at the end of the email.
+
-
*[[portrait]] &mdash; Strong Bad misplaces a period.  "Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" The period should be outside the parentheses, but Strong Bad puts it inside. He also uses a period rather than a question mark at the end of "rich-guy newspapers."
+
-
*[[secret identity]] &mdash; When Strong Bad asks "have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I...", it should be "The Poopsmith and ''me''". (No retard, the former is the correct usage of English grammar.)
+
-
*[[pop-up]] &mdash; Strong Bad types "four year-old." As an adjective for the implied noun "child," it should be written "four-year-old."
+
-
*[[unnatural]] &mdash; Strong Bad forgets to put a comma after "apostrophes" in "Watch out where you're flinging those apostrophes nobody."
+
-
*[[web comics]] &mdash; Strong Bad ends the sentence "Why can't you just make a...comic" with a period instead of a question mark.
+
-
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] &mdash; In the second email, Strong Bad's reply omits the word "is" in the remark "Dangeresque is a serious guy, okay?".
+
-
*[[theme party]], [[funny]], [[labor day]] &mdash; Strong Bad types "woah" instead of "whoa". (As this is not actually a word but a written representation of an emotive expression, I would argue that both are correct.)
+
-

Your invited?

From the FeedBurner page:

"Like two sides of an extremely rare, valuable, and attractive coin, there's Strong Bad the grammar policeman on one hand, and Strong Bad the guy that makes up a buncha crap all the time on t'other."

Although Strong Bad is quite obsessive about everyone's spelling, grammar, and punctuation, he still makes some of the same mistakes himself. Additionally, he has a tendency to make up words, usually during his emails. It may be The Brothers Chaps' fault for some of these mistakes, as they are rarely acknowleged in toons.
