It is a sign, a small sign. The use of "4" instead of "for" is acceptable because of space concerns, but using "sell" rather than "sale" saves no space at all.

Apostrophes do not a plural make.

Yet another sign I have found in a public restroom. This detailed account of proper bathroom-cleaning procedures actually displays a pretty good grasp of the language. There is, however, that pesky subject/verb agreement issue in #5.

An astute reader, snickerdoodles, noticed that there are two #5 listings and that crevices is spelled "cervices." Astute reader also chuckles at the notion of cleaning crevices.

This is not a real sign, I know. It is, however, a crude form of self-expression. This vandal took the time to edit his work (notice the scribble). Can't tell if the small part is an "a" or a"ch." I think it is an "a." If that is the case, the author decided to change tenses. Classy!

I believe that I would be SORE if I tried to SOAR with eagles. And, I suspect that I would be SORE if I had to resort to SOARING with birds.

Many thanks to an English-teacher friend for this list of amusing signs.

Did I read that sign right?

The apostrophe menace strikes again!!!!

Even though this billboard is fraught with some unusual capitalization, my issue with it is theological more than grammatical.

Gambling, while I disagree with it, sends no one to hell.

This sign has been moved. I do not know whether or not it has been reposted at the new location of this business.

What purpose do these quotation marks serve?

These additional pictures from the park need....well.....enough said.

This sign says I (the letter of the alphabet). Since when has I been a number? 1 is a number. I is not.

Apostrophe clutter strikes again. Amazing (at least to me) is the fact that this sign is lighted. Most likely more than one person saw it, approved it, and knew it would be displayed.

This photo shows a correct and an incorrect use of the apostrophe.

Tomi owns the place so Tomi's is correct.

Walk-ins to the store do not own welcome so leave off the apostrophe, Tomi.

This one is from somewhere is Michigan, I think.

Apostrophes do not make words plural. EVER! Tell Chief Whagoo-le. This one is from North Carolina.

It's spelled D-O-L-L-A-R.

Horrible picture, I know. I had to smuggle a camera into a bathroom I had already gone into one time. Not only was I being critical of the sign, I was also using the bathroom 2 times without buying anything from the store.

Then, in my haste, I cut off the top of the sign. For those of you who want to heed the warning, "Please Don't Put Paper Towels in Comode."

"Comode" is a pretty fancy word for such a hastily written sign. May I suggest toilet (that is still a bit difficult to spell), potty, or simply pot?

This gem was tacked to an official sign at ***** City Park in Arkansas. My apologies for the poor photography that makes the last line/bunch of words illegible.

Use the trash can, okay!

Unnecessary quotation marks.....lack of an apostrophe.....misspelled word (expence).....

This sign's author should have taken on the extra expense of having the sign made professionally so as not to violate so many spelling and punctuation rules.

Tow away the sign.

I tried to edit this image so that the sign was more easily read. Just in case you cannot read it.... it says FRESH PODUCE.

I drove by this sign many times before remembering to bring along my 35mm. If you are ever driving near Brinkley, Arkansas, and get a hankering for some fresh vegetables, stop by the poduce stand.

It is with this, the latest butchering of the English language in a public place, that I begin my foray into the world of blogging.

I suppose that a person interpreting this literally would still be searching throughout the restroom at one of Arkansas' rest areas for a hotel-type place to PUSH. :)
