Sit and Seat


If this is a sign intended to tell a hostess not to SEAT people here, then this sign is correct; if it is intended to tell patrons not to SIT here, then this sign should read "SIT" not "SEAT." #nomadsnonsense #seatandsit #grammarfail #grammar #stuttgart #stuttgartarkansas

Gulf Shores, Alabama

No apostrophe is needed in margaritas since it is plural rather than possessive. #nomadsnonsense #apostrophe 

Solved


Is this an issue of mispronouncing a word and, as a result, misspelling it? That's a mystery that may never be SOLVED. #nomadsnonsense #spellingerror #spellingfail #solved #sovled 

Bison


Thank you to Allison for this Wal-Mart error. No apostrophe needed for the plural form. If I recall correctly, the university does use "bisons" for the plural. The apostrophe is definitely wrong in this context. #Nomadsnonsense #Harding #hardinguniversity #bison #bisons #apostrophe #walmart 

Accept vs. Except


This should be written as follows: We cannot accept $100 bills until after 11 A.M.  Accept means to allow. Except means not to allow, to X something. #acceptexcept  #grammar  #grammarfail

Who and Whom


Who is a subject. Whom is an object. This sentence should be written, Who rescued whom? Whom is working as a direct object in this sentence. #whowhom #nomadsnonsense #hallmark #subjectobject #grammarfail
