Construnction

This scrolling sign spells the word construction as CONSTRUNCTION. 

Who/Whom

"Who" is functioning as the object of a preposition. "Who" is a subject pronoun. A subject pronoun should not function as an object; therefore, "whom" should be used in this sentence. 

Confusing Headlines

Both of these headlines are a bit confusing. The first one seems to say that the mother was found dead and then charged with manslaughter. The second headline seems to have the words in the correct order. 

So Many Errors

The first sentence contains two clauses. The independent clause is "Do you know," and the dependent clause is "what each of these apps do." The subject of this dependent clause is "each." The prepositional phrase "of these apps" does not contain the subject. Prepositional phrases never do. The subject "each" is singular. The verb "do" is plural.  They don't agree. This first sentence should read as follows: Do you know what each of these apps does?

The next sentence is a run-on sentence. It should read, "Let us know. Then, click the link below to see if you're right."

"Savy" should be spelled "savvy."

Commas and Spaces

There should be no space before the commas, and the comma should be inside the quotation marks. 

It's/its

"It's" should be "its." 

A LSU Fan?

Because the "L" in "LSU" begins with a vowel sound, this should read "AN LSU Fan." 

Expierenced?

Evidently, someone's not "expierenced" with spell-check. There's a bit of irony in the choice of adjectives. 

Lazer?

I think "lazer" should be spelled with an -s. 

Raffle/Raffels

A student, Logan C., found this one on a sign posted in the hall. Thanks!

Repeat Offender

Once again, Big Red Valero incorrectly uses the cent sign and decimal point. Using a decimal point denotes part of a whole. Thus, $1.36 means 1 whole dollar and part of another whole dollar. To be exact, it means 1 whole and 36 of 100 parts of another whole. When one writes $.36, one communicates 36 of 100 parts of a whole. This same idea may be communicated as 36 followed by the cent sign. (I cannot find this symbol on my phone keypad.) When one uses the decimal point and the cent sign, one communicates an amount that is part of a cent, not part of a dollar. I would like to see them give change for a penny since the Icee costs less than one penny. 

See my previous posts for pictures of this mistake on the sign outside Big Red. 

Monday

I cannot think of a cute cow reason to spell Monday this way. I think it is simply misspelled. Abigail found this one in Bryant, Arkansas. 

Beautiful Painting. Ugly Grammar.

There should be no apostrophe. A comma should follow "beauty."
