But, they'd have room for the apostrophe and E if they didn't have the extra exclamation marks...; January 5, 2012 at 4:32 PM

LaLa said...: I work in graphic design, and constantly scan printed material/advertising to see what got screwed up grammatically... used to be just occasional sightings on small family-run restaurant menus. Now it's on billboards, national advertising, television.

My pet-peeve is the abuse of the apostrophe - "car's" when they mean "cars." OMG people! Basic punctuation and grammar are taught in GRADE SCHOOL!

Are people getting dumber, or do they just really not care any more?; January 5, 2012 at 7:21 PM
Laura said...: @LaLa They just don't care anymore. So often when I point out people's mistakes, they say "Why does it matter? You understood my point."

... Except now sometimes it takes 5 minutes to understand the point instead of just reading and knowing. Ugh...; January 5, 2012 at 11:32 PM
