Pikeville, KY, didn't pass 3rd grade English.

The University of Kentucky just won the NCAA men's basketball championship. As a result, the team and their head coach, John Calipari, are making the rounds throughout Kentucky, glad-handing politicians, kissing babies, and being given keys to the city.

Except in Pikeville, KY, things went awry. Admittedly, grammar and spelling are a newfangled thing in parts of rural Kentucky.


So close on at least a half dozen fronts! So, so close!!

But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Although I think it's safe to say this was a live hand grenade to modern spelling and grammar etiquette.
