That's-What-She-Said Day... FAIL

Now, I’m not one to bat a perfect .1000 with all the Facebook groups and events I create each year; but at least I do everything in my power to have them make as much sense as possible before I send the invitation out to hundreds of people. In this case study, we have a high school sophomore creating the event:

1st Annual International "Thats What She Said" Day
THATS WHAT SHE SAID! the line we all use in our heads....or outloud!!
(check out the event here)

While I appreciate his enthusiasm towards this extremely quotable line from a great television show, there are just too many things wrong with this event, namely, from an administrative standpoint, to push me to the point where I might care to accept and/or participate.

1st - To get picky right off the bat, "thats," found in the title and subtitle, really just needs an apostrophe, please.

2nd - I don't even think there needs to be a subtitle. All he did was repeat the main concept and then tell me this is a phrase we all use "in our heads....or outloud!!" Well, as of January 10th, I know that 88,328 people, in fact, don't. Plus, I think it's weird to say "the line we all use in our heads....or outloud!!" It sorta feels like the equivalent of someone saying "the line we never use, or do!"

3rd - Outloud is not a word. Did he not have an extra 1.09 seconds to put a space there? Given the ridiculous check-box system Facebook has in place for you to select friends you'd like to invite to a group or an event, it is unlikely that he was in a time crunch. If he was, he definitely chose the wrong thing from his to-do list to jam in right before geometry class.

4th - It's Michael, not Micheal, for the love.

5th - This event is to take place from the hours of 12am - 12pm on Sunday, February 15th -- a huge oversight in my opinion. So we're supposed to sleep through the first half of the event, and then enjoy the second half, "in our heads....or outloud!!" at church? As much fun as that sounds, and realizing that there is probably as much fodder in a church as there is anywhere else for even the slowest of that's-what-she-saiders, The Office is a TV show about people at work, doing work, during work. All the favorite that's-what-she-said moments happened in an office -- specifically, in The Office. It seems appropriate that this event be celebrated on a weekday, when everyone is in their office. That's why April Fools Day wasn't scheduled in March, and why we don't ring in the new year between the hours of 8am and 8pm, on December 31st.

6th - In the description line, he thanks the writers from The Office, along with Steve Carell and "Micheal" Scott (again with the -ea). Well, which one is it? Let's agree-to-disagree and say that it could really only be thought up by the two non-fictional entities in that lineup. It was likely only one of them at that, unless they both happened to birth this hilarious utterance at the exact same moment. In light of this, the line should probably have read "thank you to the writers of The Office or Steve Carell." just saying.

Kid, I appreciate the effort, I really do. It's a funny phrase that's making people pervert even the most innocent of dialogue across America (and apparently across the world too, according to the global status of this event... though I have a hard time believing the heart of this line really translates to most other countries); but I think you need to get a secretary or something before you send out anymore of these event invitations.

Call it nitpicking. Call it semantics. I just call it proofreading before you send out an event invitation to 302,591 people.
