My daily Groupon email is for a "Vampire Face-Lift", which of course caught my eye. Is this a face lift to make you look like a vampire? Is it done by vampires?

I never did find the answers to my questions though, I got distracted by a second deal in the email:

Up to 83% Off Tutoring from Kims Academy

I had to check that one out. The Groupon page lead to the contact page of Kims Academy, which confirmed that it was not a Groupon typo, it is in fact "Kims" Academy.

The whole site is just so painfully bad. "Course Progression Scaled To Performing Grade Level Is Designed To Maximize" ...maximize what? Typos are scattered through the site, but worse is the grammar/English.

Look at the writing page, none of the sentences have periods! Arg!

I was tempted to email this person and point out all the errors, but decided against it. Let them stand as a warning to anyone who considers using Kims Academy.

Maybe there is more than one Kim? :P

Maybe they only teach people named Kim! I'd accept the name, if that's the case. :P

Skills Learned
4th - 5th Grade
Grammer Fundamental (much easier to learn one fundamental of Grammer than all the Fundamentals)

5th - 6th Grade
Vocubalary Development (apparently spelling is not a fundamental skill, especially if your goal is to prepare for a multiple-choice test)

Ha ha, yes! The whole site is just too funny.

But what other academy can help you develop your vocubalary, or learn the basics of grammer? Expanding one's vocabulary is easy, but expanding vocubalary is something else entirely. And why learn grammar like a chump when you can learn grammer instead?

Maybe there is a reason behind the 83% discount? :P

Most perfect use of your icon ever!

You might be onto something about the discount. HMMM, wonder why they need more customers!
