Here is another sign from the Arkansas State Fairgrounds. The proper spelling is a-d-m-i-n-i-s-t-r-a-t-i-o-n. Posted by Picasa
"NO LAYING DOWN" should be "NO LYING DOWN." Posted by Picasa
This little gem is undoubtedly one of my favorite finds so far. Notice the spelling of the word children in the sign on the right. This is correct only if this barnyard is named for someone whose name is Chidren. This is a permanent sign at at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds. Posted by Picasa
Hey, kids! Obey your parents, unless your parents are telling you to spell OBEY "O-B-A-Y." Posted by Picasa
There is a subject/verb agreement problem in this sign that I found at the Arkansas State Fair. In the sentence that begins "During the hot and humid days," the subject is compund. The verb "brings" would agree with a singular subject, but this sentence should have "bring" because there are two subjects. Posted by Picasa

Thanks to my brother for this one. (He, too, is an English major.) According to this sign, Fried Pie owns something near this sign. Is it his house to which the sign refers? Is it his car? Ahhhh, I bet someone just did not know how to properly use an apostrophe, and this person only means to say that he has some fried pies to sell. Posted by Picasa
