Today's is a grammar annoyance.
"Were" engaged? Like you aren't anymore? Either this is the weirdest breakup announcement ever or a printer needs to be fired like whoa.

Hey ya'll! I'm starting a new series on le blog with random pins I come across that are horrifying, mystifying, or just piss me off. Hope you enjoy!

Lol... I'm not sure if I should laugh at this or shake my head at the downfall of good grammar. Spell check isn't a catch-all.
I might be wrong, but I actually read this as "Anna and Jason were engaged on 27 November", as in "got engaged on 27 November", which would be correct. (It would be weird to say "we're engaged on 27 November.") But if that's what they meant, it still seems like a poor choice of words because you expect it to say "We're engaged" so it looks wrong! (Maybe in whatever country it's from, this is a common way to say it?)
I'm looking forward to this series!
I don't know why, but the first thing I noticed was the girl's fingerprint. It looks painful!
