Pet peeve

I hate seeing advertisements with misspellings or grammatical errors. Ever heard of proofreading???

I was at the fair today and someone selling bicycles had a big banner that said "Gas Suck's, Buy a Bike".

I don't really care in a forum like this since people are just writing on the fly, but for goodness sake, if you are going to pay for an ad; make sure it's spelled correctly!!!

Had to edit for spelling

Once I was at Target and saw a gorgeous reverse print (white text on black) ad for Reidel wine glasses. It used "it's" incorrectly. I happened to have a black pen in my purse so I whipped it out and fixed the sign.

Seriously... someone got PAID to design an ad with an error.

I swear, I would like to carry around a can of red spray paint, to use like an editor's pencil, just for signs. I don't get bent out of shape about mistakes in emails, on bulletin boards, or even on blogs that I read, but ON A SIGN?

I have to say I never thought of bringing along a pen to make my own corrections... I might have to toss a sharpie in my purse tonight

Its a dead zone. Wal mart is the only thing around any "outsider" would know
