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.
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.
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.
What a great find this one is!! But....I must give credit where credit is due. My husband found this one at St. Vincent's Doctors Hospital in Little Rock. He did not have a camera with him. We made a special trip to the hospital to take a picture of this sign. I cannot imagine why this sign remains posted. Couldn't they overcharge someone for some hospital service and use that money to buy a new sign?
This ad has been in the newspaper several times. The clearest mistake is in the first line of the last paragraph. I think "an" should be "any." I really think that the comma in the first sentence of the first paragraph is unnecessary. There are a few other things I might have changed if it had been my decision.
