From a friend. I love that I have friends from around the country noticing errors in signage. This one was seen on the MARTA train, the Metro Atlanta train system.
Besides the obvious capitalization problems, they’ve left out a word in the first bullet and have an unnecessary comma in the second. For all the world to see . . .
Having a sign with these many errors is almost worse than having no sign at all. Maybe I should make up a grammatically correct sign for them to use next time and drop it off. As long as their copier isn’t having “prolems.”
I made my friend Tara turn around during our trip to Seattle so I could get a picture of this one! The difference between Your and You are (You’re) is important! This would be so much funnier if it was correct!
A real example of how important proofreading is. This was sent to me by a friend who caught it before the document left her office, but both she and her boss missed it in the first few rounds. This is a mistake I make a lot. Can you find the error?
I was originally interested in this Justin Bieber story days ago just because I was actually there (and didn’t realize that’s what was happening). But today’s headline teaser … again … caught my attention for a different reason. Seriously local Fox News. “Loosing his lunch”? As opposed to “tighting his lunch”? Losing and Loosing are different — learn it!
