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."
no dude. it was incidental. that's the point.
A typo here and there is a far cry from not being able to construct a sentence properly. Refer to the sentence above "sarah sg[h]ould of took a chill pill". What is the excuse for that ? Pretty soon grammar books will be required to be rewritten (by liberals of course) to accomodate today's kids.
She's trying to express her feelings on the death of someone she admired, and all people can do is harp on her grammar? It's just pathetic.
The people doing the harping are nameless, uninteresting nobodies. They make their living parasitically carping on people like Lindsay who, like it or not, are interesting to a lot of Americans. It figures some dweeb writer somewhere would try to feel superior to Lindsay by demonstrating better writing skills.
Ok, fine, buddy. Yer a better writer than Lindsay Lohan. Congrats. Hope picking on a girl makes you feel better.
I see "of" used in place of "have" quite often right here on FR. :-\
You are missing the point..Lindsay is just one random sample. But never mind.
All we are.... is dust.... in the wind..... dude.
Oh God. She doesn't write in perfect English. We're all gonna die!!! I reckon the world's gotten on a long time w/ a lot of folks who couldn't write, spell or execute perfect English grammar. It's not worth losing sleep over, and it sure isn't worth mocking a pretty young girl about. What ever happened to chivalry?
