What's with the grammar in this sentense, found in The Neon Bar Signs | Daz 3D

Does it mean anything special to be used in that way, or is it just another non native English speaker who made a mistake?

(I love the product nevertheless - can never get enough of cool neon signs)

    What you suggest is in the realm of possibility. However, it looks like the phrases can be put together or taken apart, so should be a simple change.

    Cats often use bad grammar... like famously "I can haz cheezburger"... if you look at most of the memes they make (assuming cats are behind most cat memes), you can see bad grammar and spelling abound.

    I'm going to assume a cat is employed by Polish and probably just wrote that the way it speaks... which sounds very cat... "Let the party begins"...

    Honestly, I would expect it to be more like "Letz the party beginz", but I assume different dialects of cat might pronounce it differently.

    I'm part cat - I belong to the "itteh bitteh part-kitty commiteh" - South West, UK branch - I also suffer from bad grammar (My English teachers were useless). I think they were in the job, just to have power over kids. The only time they were happy, was when they were shouting at someone. :/ I should've been raised by cats. They couldn't have been any worse than humans.

    Dang... I had a bunch of terrible teachers too... but I can picture yours screaming..."Wrong, do it again!...If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding!! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?...You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

    Probably because of Pink Floyd, but still... 

    Up to high school, I went to Catholic school... did you know nuns can shout and hit at the same time?... Public School teachers don't multitask like that.

    Me too! Also “anyways” and “nother” mostly said out loud as in “a whole nother thing.”  Also “Me and my friend went to...” Nobody speaks or writes correct English anymore. Even professional screenwriters give intelligent characters grammatically incorrect dialogue in movies and TV! I’m surprised the actors don’t bring it up and ask to have it changed.

    Many of the actors don't seem to know any better: In their interviews they flip pronouns as well. Can they haz edjuhmuhkayshun?

    The subject of this thread is a good example of what I call  The Flying 's'.  Everybody knows that one adds an 's' to the end of nouns to make them plural (well, that is true much of the time, i.e. if the word isn't foreign or odd, or just plain obstinate).  But verbs often get the "s" stolen from them by the noun when the noun becomes plural.surprise   Weirdness!indecision

    examples

    Singular noun: dog: "One dog barks".

    Plural noun, dogs: "Two dogs bark".

    That letter  's" just flew from the verb to the noun.surprise  It just comes so easily to native English speakers but when one stops and realizes what is happening it just seems so curious.yes

    In fact, while writing this little brain clot I realized that the phrase "when one stops and realizes" is yet another example of English plurality nonsense.  "I stop", and "he stops, but generally "one stops" to smell the flowers".  Both nouns ( "I",and "one") are singular yet the "one" requires the "s" on the verb  according the the flying 's' rule, and the "I" doesn't.surprise  Weirdness!indecision

    Complaint:  OMG, what about this:  "It is mentally healthy for one to stop and smell the flowers".  Singular "one", no 's' on the verb "stop".  Argh... More weirdness...indecision It must have something to do with the verb being used as its infinitive, i.e. "to stop".  

    English is weird but beautifully so.heart

    You nailed it. But the verb of your example sentence is "is," (and "It" is the subject). "To stop and smell," as you noted, is an infinitive phrase (called "a verbal!") that modifies the prepositional phrase "for one."

    Thanks for your humour. One thing the past two years have illustrated is that seemingly arbitrary rules ought not be used as a basis for contempt or castigation.

    Grammar, punctuation and spelling are a thorn in my side...

    Whats the big deal about being understood... 

    "Let's eat, grampa"... or...  "Let's eat grampa"... Big deal if he gets eaten, he's old, he had a good run...

    Proper grammar and spelling makes people mentally lazy... you have the information or concept just handed to you, you don't have to work for it, or figure anything out... it's like how remote controls made America fat and lazy... people used to get up and turn the knob and burn calories in the process... when you got up you had to know what you wanted to watch... none of this aimless browsing... 

    Proper grammar, spelling and that other thing, will make people's brains get fat and then people will start to fall over because their heads are too large or worse yet they'll try to balance themselves by getting even fatter butts... it's a vicious circle.

    I reject grammar and all its trappings.

    Not only that, it feeds the Industrial Word Machine and keeps Big English and the Linguistic Industrial Complex that runs everything in power while keeping the common man down.

    No grammar for me thank you... well, maybe grammar cracker... you needs those for s'mores, but just the crackers...

    And on top of that, did you ever read an actual two or three hundred year old book?… Not only are the pages all crumbly and brown and taste terrible, the words in them are all misspelled and the grammar is stupid... what's with the weird "s" that looks like an "f"... "Medial S" my "A"... it looks like a friggin tripped out "f"... and don't get me started on silent letters... do we have silent numbers?  No... because that's stupid.

    Grammar is stupid (but not the crackers... they may have the consistency of old balsa wood, but they work as pie crust and s'mores foundation).

    Do we really want future generations to think we are that stupid?… we need to future-proof how we speak before it’s too late.

    If proper grammar, punctuation and spelling had their way, Americans and Australians would sound like snooty jerks instead of cool dudes like they do*.

    As an Englishman I'm anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

    My daughter and I like to play a game called, 'Because you just do'. In coversation we will stop each other and ask why things are said like they are and how you would explain it to someone learning English. The answer, a lot of the time, being 'Because you just do' :)

    Also -'My grammar was good at spelling, she made great donuts too'. Apparently she couldn't spell doughnut though cheeky

    honestly leave the damned apostrophe out altogether IMO, it adds nothing but extra rules to follow.

    Just having a noun with an s by another suggests possesion anyway and it's usually obvious if it's a plural if it even uses an added s, not all plurals even do.
