Although [[Strong Bad]] is quite obsessive about everyone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling, grammar, and punctuation]], he still '''makes some of the same mistakes himself'''.

It may be [[The Brothers Chaps]]' fault for some of these mistakes, as they are rarely acknowleged in toons.

+

-
*[[dragon]] - After demonstrating how to draw Trogdor, Strong Bad says, "Let's see how the other students are doing." However, when he types it, he omits the word ''see''.

From the FeedBurner page:

"Like two sides of an extremely rare, valuable, and attractive coin, there's Strong Bad the grammar policeman on one hand, and Strong Bad the guy that makes up a buncha crap all the time on t'other."
