Grammar Gripes
Okay. I have to get this stuff off my chest. I am so tired of seeing poor grammar on signs!! One would think that in all the steps it takes to get a professionally made sign, someone would notice that the sign makes no sense. Ditto for poor spelling. A few examples:
"Keep doing what your doing keep getting what you've got"
"Helping reduce America's dependence on foriegn oil"
"He defines you and I."
Let's go over these. The first one not only lacks a comma, but also an apostrophe. Apparently they know what an apostrophe is, and what it does, because they have one of them. Why the first one is omitted is a mystery.
The second one is just horrid. I'm guessing that those mean old "foriegners" can at least spell.
The last is an ad on the radio. Every time it comes on I am reduced to screaming, "You and me! It's you and me, you idiot!" So far they haven't heard me. Odd.
So, now I have exposed my grammar police status, and perhaps a bit of my OCD tendencies too. Hope you still come back. ;-)
