You have lost your punctuation privileges.
Jun 08, 2009
Ok, that's it.
If you don't know what an apostrophe is for, you are ordered to cease using them.
And before you waste the energy to tell me I am an elitist hypocrite, be advised…I already know. I knew before you did because I'm better than you.
By the way, you can find this punctuation abomination as well as many more at HomeGoods.
If you need me, I will be filling my afternoon looking for semicolon opportunities in Domestics.
hahaha, that's so very annoying.
but then, you've lost your spelling PRIVILEGES
This is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. OY.
God, I hate when people misuse apostrophes.
Or when they don't use them at all.
"were going to the movie's and its going to be fun!"
Yeah, got that text not that long ago.
Bwahahaha! I hate when people use apostrophe's wrong.
*ahem
LOL, nice cover up…
Oy! I'm so proud of you for getting a picture. But so NOT proud of whoever approved that sign…
Hope all is well!
I'm with you on that! And with April on the spelling. Hilarious!
I don't expect everyone to be a grammar master, but if you're going to mass produce your product, perhaps a couple extra edits would be appropriate!
I know what my apostraphes are for. But I do misuse and abuse commas a great deal.
What;s wrong with that there sign. Its' lookin good from here.
Ah yes, Sister is are special! I love mine very much!
Even without that apostrophe mishap that sign is terrible!
Wha'at???
So did you ask for a discount and then buy it?
I'm glad I'm not the only anal one who notices those things. I REALLY hate when giant billboards have grammatical errors on them. Is there really that short of a supply of editors? Or can companies no longer afford to hire them?
OK, well obviously you need to be English.. a couple of years ago a book about punctuation pet peeves became a London Times Bestseller!!
Eats, shoot and leaves. by Lynne Truss
Seriously the funniest book on punctuation and rants ever!! The author went around London adding punctuation to the movie posters for Two Weeks Notice!!
Now that is an obsessive elitist!!
Heathers here to say this bug's her too!
And I thought I was the only grammar elitist in town! I see this all the time especially on "hand painted" made in China home decor. My favorite from last Halloween was "Bewear of Ghosts"….idiots!
Your my hero.
OMG, I see that done all the time. Even by lawyers!
And I had a secretary once who changed a brief I drafted without my knowledge. I signed it and allowed her to file it, only to later discover that she changed "cinnamon roll" to "Cinnamon roll." I was mortified. That's when we had a little talk about the scope of her duties being limited to correcting page breaks and other formatting issues, but NOTHING ELSE. Oi.
