Lindsay Lohan is the talk of Hollywood for all the wrong reasons again after a letter of condolence to film director Robert Altman's family showed up her shocking grasp of the English language.
The 20-yearold actress, who starred in Altman's last movie A Prairie Home Companion, paid her tributes to the auteur who died of cancer last week. But her note was full of spelling and grammar mistakes.
In the leaked letter, Lohan writes: "I am lucky enough to of been able to work with Robert Altman amongst the other greats on a film that I can genuinely say created a turning point in my career.
"He was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I've had in several years... He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do."
Better known for her partying than literary skills, Lohan has been mocked by peers since the letter became public with some speculating it might have been written after one of her many late nights out.
Lohan, supposedly a straight A student, goes on to say: "There's a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on. - altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come ....Be adequite."
Let's be honest here . . . it was most likely Lindsay's assistant who wrote this.
That's very possible.
As much as I don't like her, it think it was very kind of her to write a letter of condolence. Most young people don't have the manners to do so nowadays. It was a very classy thing for her to do, grammar and spelling aside.
Priceless.
I've seen public school teachers write much worse.
Hey, but I'm sure she knows what the U.S. foreign policy should be!
I'd be too busy hitting that to worry about spelling and grammar.
i don't believe she wrote it...
Aside from using "of" instead of "have", it's not particularly bad. Not right, however I see worse from college graduates actually attempting to write formal letters, daily.
Will she be driving his hearse?
...who's probably more literate that she is.
that = than (I should talk!) ;-)
"I've seen public school teachers write much worse."
Where I come from teachers are known to say, "Let me axe you a creshion."
It's apparently that she didn't do well of school.
Altman's A Prairie Home Companion was an excellent film, and Lohan was surprisingly good in it.
Of course, my expectations were a little low, but still...
I've seen Freepers write much worse (myself included). Seriesly.
