Oh homonyms…how you do tell the tale of a 4th grade fail.
I wonder if the spelling mistakes were by the author of the e-mail or the awkward righter.
bad spel chekker?
ooo karma before he even pushed “Send”
The lameness of the site makes him too embarrassed to send the link to his friends? And we are supposed to care? ZZZZZ…I’m sure we’re all losing sleep over that.
he should be more embarrassed to send EMAILS to his friends…
Good point.
OK… Every single one of you have at least ONE grammar mistake, so you all need to take your own medicine and assume the position. NO ONE is perfect, especially not you. EH?
Don’t you mean “…grammatical mistake”? LOL!
hahaha! great! oh, and i AM perfect.
This is amazing. So freaking funny.
Lacie… not just an apostrophe is missing. Everything is misspelled in the last few lines. So friggin’ hilarious.
hmm, think we lost sight of why this crappy email is so hilarious, peoples??
it is so poorly written that you couldn’t begin to dissect the errors…
haha anyway
Well, all I can say is… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, go back to school, darling!!!! I’ll tell you what’s awkward – your accuracy, I mean, the lack of it… Jesus!!!!!
Hi, I’m an English teacher in Italy (I’m American) and I’m having a great time using the photos as funny prompts for conversation in more advanced classes and the posts as ways to play “catch the most common native-speaker mistakes”. It’s fantastic – and seriously, we all make mistakes when we type, most of us are such quick typists that we’ve already clicked on “send” before even re-reading the last word.
What a dink. I hope I rote that korecktly. My rightaing ain’t two gud.
Your cute what?!
I’m going to take what Mr. Norwegian said as a compliment. “Even you Americans,” he says, as if he would have expected better from us. Makes me kinda proud. Well done the AFP bloggers.
Bwah hahaha… the comments are better than the email!!!
Is that YOUR real name greg? Don’t you capitalize it?
Your all criticizing the spelling and grammer, fair enough its crazy, but did no one notice the fabulous use of the metaphor, “over-using it like a hammer”. I had know idea hammers were famed for there over-use, but hey, maybe I just don’t get out enough.
I think it was perfect that you called his e-mail awkward. That definitely wasn’t overuse.
What a freak! Perhaps you could learn to spell – or at least use a dictionary/spellcheck BEFORE you decide to make stupid, unwarranted comments!
“Righting”? Please, do not suggest someone work on their writing if you’re going to make such mistakes. Also, this site doesn’t really need to branch out. These photos are indeed awkward and that’s how the site should stay. That’s what we’re all here to see.
lol i didnt even realize that the comments people were leaving were actual comments! i thought i t was the awkward part of the post! you people make me laugh everyone correcting everyone! who the hell cares! i cant stand people who think their smarter than someone else!
“they’re” smarter…they’re.
Rea: For you, that would encompass just about everybody, I suppose…
I have to say it: This email is… awkward.
LOL
Greg is actually Marney’s husband. Do you see what I have to put up with?! That is why I’ll NEVER go there for Thanksgiving dinner again…these people drive me BANANAS!!
YEAH AWKFAMPHOTOS!! WORK ON YOUR RIGHTING!
lol lern tu spel
love this site!!!!!!!!
everytime i visit i piss my pants in laughter! nt rly that would be awkward
I can’t believe nobody said it!
Huked on fonics werked fer mee!
Reading this was truly painful. Truly. Before one writes someone a nastygram, one should learn to write!
The atrocious spelling and grammar mistakes are over played. Greg’s not suggesting that he should write it, just that he wishes it to be better. That being said, my favorite bit in this whole letter is the mention of Vice Dos and Don’ts. Has anyone actually read Vice Dos and Don’ts? It is probably the most nonsensical (albeit hilarious) series of photo/comments ever written. There is no rhyme or reason as to who is a “do” and who is a “don’t”. I agree that the commentary is hysterical but certainly would fall under the “awkwardly broad” category. Greg: you want this site to be MORE like that?
Ha Ha Ha
Can’t even spell
to the person who wrote this email
(if there is any mistakes i am sorry)
I agree with Greg. This site does provide some funny family photos but most of the are not awkward. I may have seen two actually “awkward” pictures. Maybe you need to re-vamp your site. Kudos for trying.
Idiot! Would you tell Mel Brooks his movies are too cheesy?
“Someone” didn’t pay attention in public school.
See, the point of mocking someone for bad spelling and bad grammar is that it often happens when these people are criticizing people for….wait for it…bad spelling and grammar. It’s like Republicans who promote “family values” who then go off to Argentina to visit their mistress, or write nasty e-mails to pages. Or wear diapers for their prostitutes, or divorce their wives on their death beds, or…well, you see what I mean.
(Oh, sweet Jeebus please make sure I spelled everything correctly.)
hahahahaha Thomas! Nothing ruins being a smartb*tt like incorrect grammar and bad spelling.
…if we’re gonna talk about “it’s”…if you want to say “it is nice out today”, you say “it’s”. If you’re saying “the cat’s heavy wool sweater”, you say “its heavy wool sweater”.
–With Love, Vegina Heurtz.
Why is the cat wearing a heavy wool sweater?
rw….you are funny! I love this comment.
it’s a compound word
Apparently, there are intelligent kids reading this webiste being so precise in their language. As such, I’d like to ask if their time wouldn’t be better spent on becoming our next world leaders? Scares me to think that the next generation of leaders will want to be BFF with foreign relations via Twitter.
Eye ain’t got no time four this!
These replies are so awkward.
What? Let’s start from the beginning.
Ok really.. let’s take it from the top and go over this again.
Wow! The reply postings related to this e-mail could be considered awkward. I had to muster up some courage to even express myself.
Yeah…you guys need to work on your righting skills :-p
I like how this person used big words to make him/her sound smart, but can’t spell! This is greatness!
himself/herself.
;D
it’s funny, i didn’t even notice the spelling or grammer. i teach kindergarten. maybe i’m just used to it.
grammar ;D
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of nerds and grammar Nazis cried out in terror. I fear something astonishingly grammatically incorrect has happened….

yes work on the “RIGHTING” please; awkwardfamilyphotos.com and wordpress. Righting the wrongs with writing or righting, like this enthusiatic emailer, would put you at the “top notch”
This dude “rites” so beautifully!
Every heard of ’spell check’ Greggy boy? Or laughter, does anybody remember laughter…
Oh Greg, stick to your day job (picking up roadkill in his native Alabama highways) …. the internet isn’t for everyone I guess!
Can always find weirdo’s everywhere.
Just so you know Mr. website creator, I like the captions! I’m thinking my own thing as I look at a picture, and then I finish and read the caption, and I see a new way to look at it. And sometimes the captions do explain the photos a little more.
Also, like another blogger said, Awkward is the perfect way to describe these pictures. They don’t have to actually BE awkward every time because they make me FEEL awkward looking at them lol. Every time I see a photo and think “WT*?!?!” it creates an awkward moment and I feel uncomfortable. Case in point, the boys holding up their ripped mom. Wtf. How did that even happen? I’m uncomfortable thinking of that photo being taken, and I definitely feel awkward looking at it! haha.
Don’t change anything! your site is awesome and I love it!
awesome.
FTW
Hm, okay.
1. Whether or not he is right is a matter of opinion, and also kind of irrelevant since
2. It’s not his damn blog, man.
If he were somehow supporting and/or bankrolling it, then maybe I could see how his opinion of its content would be important, but since he is not, he can suck it. Sorry.
PS: have you considered that it’s kind of ridiculous to come down on people for jumping on the low-hanging fruit on a blog which is, you know, devoted to jumping on low-hanging fruit?
Jeez Louise.
I only feel the need to pick on this guy because his whole tone is quite condescending. He’ll telling the writer to change his whole concept! Because HE’s too embarrassed to send links to his friends? What?!
And if he’s got limited command of the English language, I think he needs to go back to grammar class before he starts “suggesting” how other people should run their blogs. I mean, it’s not THAT limited – it’s (to me, anyway) obviously laziness which makes him an easy target for jokes…it seems to me people are just using it as a chance to get their funny on…nothing wrong with that, IM(ns)HO.
I don’t even see one of these: LOLLEARNENGLISHMORAN!!11eleven! Is that common here?
I agree with angel_i. This e-mail reminds me of the kind of dick that will go up to a band after they’re done playing, and start offering “free advice” on how they can improve their sound: “See, what you gotta do is play songs people can hum. Some toe-tapping music. Then you’ll get the audience you deserve.”
I don’t wanna go out on a total nutcase limb here, but maybe, just maybe, you are OVERTHINKING this, Dr. Buzzkill.
Awkwardness requires thought? Really? As if people wake up and think, “What’s the most socially inept, embarrassing, and off-putting way I can behave today?”
Yeah, no.
Well, I mean, some people probably do think that way, but those people are likely sociopaths and not indicative of the majority.
Wow, this might help keep the blog’s “inbox clear”? Horrors! What a terrible threat/prospect.
Nothing a blogger likes better than going through sh*t-tons of vapid reader responses, I’m sure.
The sarcasm is wrong in this one.
*He’s* telling the writer. Oopsie!
it actually should be THEY’RE, not their OR there.
just sayin’ ..
LOL!…and everyone must be beautiful. We should only ever laugh at the beautiful people.
I wrote the awkward email. And….I relent. You’ve helped me see the light. The awkward repetition of “awkward” kinda has a silly logic to it, which makes the whole thing funnier. I need to consider using the “cancel draft” button more and the “send button” less.
Being a blustery grammar-challenged big mouth?—-Guilty.
Being pathetic enough to defend myself against well-deserved ridicule under a bunch of assumed names?—- Never!!
I think the response from others to your email was OVER THE TOP. In several of the responses there were grammer errors and spelling errors and I am not even good at
english. (therefore there will probably be some in here). I must say because of the way
you wrote it, it was a little harder to follow your point especially the last half of it. I didn’t
totally agree with your point that using the word Awkward so much was wrong since that is the name of the site and so it doesn’t seem unusual. I do agree with you and others that have said some of the quotes under the pictures could be better, but I also think some of the pictures could be better. But in saying that I still think that everyone is over reacting because this is just a light hearted site for people to get a laugh on occasion. You are always going to have some photo’s and quotes that are better than others. Some photos and quotes might be entertaining to some people and some photos are funnier to others. Also everyone makes typo’s when they are emailing or texting and I am sure most people have done ones when they are in a hurry and didn’t check it. So I just say to everyone chill out and enjoy and don’t take life that serious.
Who’s pickaxe? You’res?
Sandy, you forgot IT’S/ITS, TO/TWO/TOO, and FOUR/4. Not to mention proper use of commas, hyphens, and capitals. please work on the righting. [sic]
An addendum to Sandy’s note to the population of the Internet:
And I will help her! (Or him. As long as there is some pickaxin’ of subliterates, I’m good!)
LOL!!! I Love this.
You’re both wrong. “they’re” means “they are.” Doesn’t work in the sentence. “There” is in reference to a place. Also wrong for the sentence. “Their” [which was correctly used by poor Mr. Greg who is being ridiculed for nonsense] is possessive such as “Their ball is over there, and they’re going to be mad if it isn’t returned”
just sayin’….
Sue…You sorrily mistook the “their” which the others were referring too. Which is easy to do, when they’re used so often in one sentence. But if you read it again, I’m sure it’ll become clear.
But I’ll help you. We wouldn’t want *you* being made fun of for your ‘riting’ now would we?
“what? your trying to say _their_ funny looking and the similarity…”
I doubt the third person, possessive pronoun was intended in that situation, but maybe your rite QUESTION MARK
I love how people just want to be “right”… and get all competitive…
like…seriously?? its spelling… who gives a f**k?
I’m laughing at all you dopes that feel the need to correct someone…
thank you lameness. like i could see talking about how excrutiatingly painful this letter is to read but seriously correcting other people’s comments just makes you look immature. and everyone’s getting so intense about the littlest things now like the “Righting” error was like horrific i understand that but like it’s and there like get a grip and stop crying over the most ridiculous things.
Aiight, and I’m partly so harsh and paranoid because of my own past failures and online interactions
You rock for coming back and admitting your mistake. Good on ya’.
Besides, you gave us a lot of fun here
It’s “It’s”, not Its.
Also, the question mark should be inside the ending quotation mark, and poorly-written should be hyphenated.
But hey, pobody’s nerfect.
Erich, it’s “it’s” not its. As in it is (it’s).
That is dumb. the question mark goes on the outside of the quotes because he is using and excerpt from the original document that wasn’t in question form. So ‘”work on your righting”?’ is correct. If the original text was in question form then yes, it should have been inside the quotation.
But hey… “pobody’s” (fail) perfect.
Actually, “poorly written” should not be hyphenated…. I’m a journalism major. Easy rule: compound modifiers w/ an “ly” don’t need hyphens.
im mad at everyone for trying to one-up everyone. its very unbecoming.
Monica: did you read ANY of the other comments before posting?
I concur.
Thanks for that. Crucial info.
i hope your joking.
i got really upset about that too.
I swear I twitched when I saw that it drove me crazy
Righting?!
Hell! The use of “your” rather than “you’re” and “their” rather than “they’re” was what put me over the top. By the time I got to “righting” it wasn’t a shocker… I expected it!
You mean y’all. It is a shortening of you all and therefore requires an apostrophe between the y and the all. And to address your concern, do you mean “real” as opposed to “fake”? What would a FAKE opinion sound like? Could you give an example of that?
Er, wouldn’t it be simpler for you to exercise the required control over your optic nerves to not read the comments than request that the entire site be redesigned just for you, especially when you are obviously in the minority about not liking the comments?
OMG! He forgot the little apostrophe. The world has come to an end. What shall we do???? HAHAHAHAHA. All you people that feel the need to keep correcting everyone are what make this so damn funny.
don’t forget fore/for!
awwwwww greg, we think your cute.
indicate i’ve not of the ity major. hey, there’s people..
