Mary Mimio
Thanks to Liz for this one that she found in a slide show about using the Mimio. One mistake is the improper use of it's. The writer does not mean it is. The writer should have used its. Another mistake is the use of the present tense is in the last line. The fleece was white as snow. The capitalization is inconsistent, as well.

Possessive

This is a sign that I saw at Cracker Barrel. Notice that one is singular possessive (Lady's) and one is plural possessive (Men's). I think that the plural possessive is best since the clothing is for more that one person. Whether it is singular or plural, I am sure that they should be consistent, either both plural or both singular.

Slow-Slowly

Examples:
1. The slow car is red. (Tells what kind of car and doesn't need -LY.)
2. The red car moves slowly. (Tells how the car moves and needs -LY.)
