Cap'n Crunch Mistake

I know that this is an insanely terrible picture. During the last few days of school, a student brought this to me. She had been eating her breakfast when she noticed this mistake. (It makes me so happy when students catch these kinds of things!) The Cap'n says, "These kids can hit! Can you find who's blast went the farthest?" The Cap'n doesn't mean, "...who is blast went the farthest." He means, "...whose blast went the farthest." Good job, Rachel!

Apostrophes at Everything's a Dollar

I have come to the conclusion that many products that land on the shelves of dollar stores land there because there are mistakes in the packaging. I didn't spend the dollar to purchase this. I just snapped a picture of it with my cell phone. (The aisle was well-populated, so I took the picture hastily, thus the blurry nature of the photo.) No apostrophe is necessary. The Grow Me doesn't own anything, nor does the manufacturer mean Grow Me is. I should have scoured the packaging for more mistakes, but I was anxious to seek out more mistakes on other products. ;) And...yes, I did hear people asking how much things cost. One person asked me directly how much and item was. Everything's a dollar.

Venders/Vendors

When I worked for a newspaper, we often debated whether it should be written Farmers' Market, Farmer's Market, or Farmers Market. Our editor just decided that for his newspaper we would write Farmers Market, as this sign is written. The first mistake that I noticed with this sign is that "vender" should be "vendor." Capitalization rules are a bit more lax when creating a sign, I realize, but there seems to be no pattern to the capitalization in this sign.
