I recognize that not all people are grammarians or English majors, but there are certain grammar basics that ALL people have no excuse for NOT knowing. I suppose I should be more forgiving (after all, I was a teacher), but when I see such gross grammatical errors in places of business, well, there's simply no excuse for that. How I wish I had a black Sharpie so that I could have corrected these errors:
*At a plus size clothing store at the mall: "Spend $50 and get a $10 CERTIFIFICATE." Seriously? Did someone not check the spelling before printing that sign?
*At a local gas station: "State INSPECTION'S". Hmmm, I didn't know an inspection could own something.
*At Border's (! This one REALLY shocked me. Of ALL the places to find an error!): "Religious INSPIRIATION". What?!!! And that label was on several shelves!
*On a kiddie ride at the mall: "Hot DOG'S. HAMBURGER'S." Again, didn't know those could be in the possessive form.
