I took this picture while I was in my favorite Starbucks drive-thru. I think I would prefer movers who were EXPERIENCED and honest or have a history of experience and HONESTY.

Grammar Giggle – Don’t! Overdo! Exclamation! Points!

Comments Off on Grammar Giggle – Don’t! Overdo! Exclamation! Points!

I saw this one on the freeway and just wondered why the random exclamation point was there. Yes, I’m sure 500 BBQ awards is pretty impressive, but put it at the end of the complete thought please!

Comments Off on Grammar Giggle – Don’t let anyone coffin skate your property

A friend sent this one to me. Sad commentary on the public school system. How about we go back to teaching spelling instead of phonetics?

Grammar Giggle – Massashusetts

Comments Off on Grammar Giggle – Massashusetts

I found this on a page that I was directed to for a case where the order mentions proofreading, but couldn’t get past the title. It is a hard state to spell, but it is correct in the same header. Everything matters.

Grammar Giggle – Electric or Ellectric?

Comments Off on Grammar Giggle – Electric or Ellectric?

I saw this van on the freeway recently. I’m not sure why the word “electric” is misspelled on the back of the van when it is spelled correctly on the side. Interesting marketing ploy.

Grammar Giggle – But How Do They Pedal?

Comments Off on Grammar Giggle – But How Do They Pedal?

A friend sent this one to me. I can kind of understand a typo buried in a news story, but a typo in a headline just makes you look like either you don’t care enough to review your work or you’re dumb.  Don’t be dumb. At least do a quick review of your work.

Grammar Giggle – Glad I Have A Shopper’s Card

Comments Off on Grammar Giggle – Glad I Have A Shopper’s Card

A friend sent this to me some time ago. I always wonder why grocery stores advertise the “Price without Card” like having the card gives you a deal when the cost is the same or sometimes even shows up higher than without the card. Details matter.

Grammar Giggle – Perhaps A Laps Of Grammar Skills?

I received this one a while ago and while the bulk of it is OK, multiple errors in one sentence are always troublesome.
