This sign was posted at one of the many food booths at the fair that just ended in my town (Mooreland, Indiana). I assume this means if you are walking around with your pet elephant, they are offering to refill his lemon shake-up cup for three bucks.

Look what I found when watching “Batman” (1989 Tim Burton film) today. This egregious example comes about 77 minutes in, when a bundle of fresh newspapers is dropped off at a newsstand.

…and yes, he’s referring to “Deodorant’s”, not “Joker’s”.

(Thanks, Matt!)

This morning, an insert advertising “Community Hero’s Day” assaulted my sensibilities. While recognizing community herOES is a noble cause, the only way this insert could be grammatically correct is if the company plans to recognize only one community hero. That doesn’t seem to be the case, given the rest of the ad copy.

We can thank the Arizona Republic for including this little gem of apostrophe abuse.

Actually, with the text “every community has a hero”, maybe they ARE only planning to recognize one. 🙂

Okay, so never mind that I work at MENARDS (which really should be spelled Menard’s, but you knew that). This pallet of fertilizer retainer, whatever that is, has a couple of apostrophe issues, but nothing a Sharpie Magnum couldn’t fix.

From Dayvon in NZ:

Chicago is a steakhouse/sports café on the waterfront in New Zealand’s Capital city. It seems there’s more emphasis on sport than on grammar here.

I found this lovely sign at Bob’s Car Wash here in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Here is a sign on the parking area outside of the student dorm for a very large and prestigious medical school in the Midwest. One day soon I plan on taking some white out and getting rid of the offensive thing.

Jim spotted this sign in Seattle in May:
