Hot Springs: Hot Bed of Mistakes


Tees doesn't need an apostrophe, but children's does.


No apostrophe needed. This one is from a Hot Springs, Arkansas, visitor's center.


Instead of We Sale, it should be written We Sell. This from an Econo Lodge.


The abbreviation for MANAGERS should be MGRS, not MRGS. I took this one myself and got a bit worried when a couple began staring at me because they thought I was taking a picture of them. They didn't seem like the type who would appreciate my finding the mistake on the sign, so I scurried to the car and left.






The comma after research is unnecessary because this is just a compound predicate, not a compound sentence. This is from a brochure promoting the building of a fairplex and passing of a sales tax in Saline County, Arkansas.




No grammar error exists in this sign, but I laughed when I imagined someone talking to a desk. This sign could be more accurately worded, "Please help us by informing the desk personnel." I HATE ALL CAPS!
