It has come to my attention that the word 'fail' is frequently used as an adjective by people on the Internet. Nobody I know uses it this way in real life, leading me to think that its use is a morbid in-joke or an expression of post-modern irony. Most likely, though, it's the result of an error made by an eight year old who never listened in school. It's brilliant, however, because it annoys schoolteachers, which almost makes it all worth it: the only problem is that it annoys me as well. Besides, it's spelt 'phail', Mr McPhail!
