I'm not quite sure why the last post was in Hindi, but either way, Oprah seems to be upset by the second scandal at her South African school in the past two years.
excerpt from article: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/03/30/2009-03-30_o_no_not_again_oprahs_school_rocked_by_s.html
"Ten months later, Winfrey sobbed uncontrollably after 15 girls eported they had been sexually abused by a matron who was supposed to be watching over them."
I believe they meant to say "report," but they very well could be digitally reporting online. If so, they would need a hyphen between the e and ported.

ummmm...?
I 'googlenewsed' (yes, it's a verb) Twitter... because I got an account not too long ago and was curious what the media had to say about the phenomenon of tweets. I clicked on a link by a woman who is a writer, author and public speaker (and expert) on letter writing. Hmmm...she needs to edit. This is just one mistake:
What I love most about Twitter is its' simplicity and informal tone. What I like least, is how additive it can become.
additive (n.) A substance added in small amounts to something else to improve, strengthen, or otherwise alter it.
I don't think she is baking...so it should read 'addictive' instead.

Spanglish
Our chef was a little confused this week for Thursday evening's menu.
Phonetically, it makes sense. Wikipedia let me in on the logistics: The word comes from Spanish, and literally means "little cheesy thing" or "cheesie" (from queso, or "cheese", + ada, an adjectival suffix, + illa, a diminutive suffix). Quesadilla.

this site is good for more than just laughs, you can also practice grammar
1. Today, we gave my friend a surprise party. He then had a seizure, and now he is in the hospital for a week. FML
passive use | Then he had a seizure
2. Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
contraction use | that has, not that is
3. Today, while at work I was reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to me class of 5 year olds. I got near the end of the book and said "Look at the big fat caterpillar" to which one of my pupils replied "Just like you, Miss!" FML
ownership | my class of 5-year-olds
4. Today, I drank a ton of beers for my 25th birthday. My friends love to watch me open beer bottles with my teeth. I chipped both of my front uppers doing this. I'm no longer covered by my parents dental insurance because I'm 25 now. FML
ownership | parent's dental insurance
5. Today, at the gym, I see a person laying unconscious on the ground with people crowded around. Previously being a lifeguard, and knowing CPR, I ran over and asked a man what happened, preparing to check his vitals. I then realized that the body was a dummy and the employees were doing a drill. FML
lay vs. lie | I see a person lying unconscious
