Tater/Tatter

I think the Salem Dairy Bar sells TATER tots. 

The first mistake is a common one. Rarely is the word "there" a subject. The subject of the subheading is "timestamps." The sentence should read, "There ARE Timestamps on Text Messages."
The other error is likely just a typo. 
I believe they are discountED. 

Funtrackers Mistake

"Childs" should be child's. "Adults" should be adult's. 

Calender vs. Calendar

It's a CALENDAR. 

Ready to Proofread?

"Too" should be to. 

Fox16

What's "spoending"?

Scare

Two errors are in this one. The comma should be inside the quotation marks, and Finney probably has a scar, not a "scare."

Their/They're

"After they're finished..."

Impulsive Apostrophe

An education group making a post with an elementary mistake. Hmmm. 
No apostrophe needed. 

The School PrinciPAL=Your PAL

The principal is your PAL. 

Great Sentiments. Terrible Grammar.

The first, second, and fourth errors are errors in agreement. The post begins with the singular "a lost loved one." The switch to "them," "them," and "their" causes disagreement between these plural pronouns and their singular antecedent. The third error is an error in tense. It should be "shared" since the time would be in the past. The last circled error is a comma splice, meaning that two sentences have been incorrectly joined with a comma. A period, a semicolon, or a comma and coordinating conjunction could correct this error.
