The Joys of a Misplaced Prepositional Phrase

It should read "found by a neighbor." I doubt he was using a neighbor to beat his girlfriend. Also, a child should not be referred to as an "its."

Your/you're

I'd like to add that if you only use YOUR when you should use YOU'RE, you're in trouble, too. (At least with your English teacher) Thanks to my dad for sending this picture from The Yellow Jacket Drive-in located in Sheridan, Arkansas.

Lie/lay

"Lay" should be lie.
This one is located in Museum of Discovery in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Playwright/play write

Oh my! In a movie about an English teacher, you would think that someone would know to use playwright not play write.

#bryantnewsjournalism

I think WHICH should be WITH, thus proving the Tweet is sincere.

Oh, Everett Buick GMC!

No apostrophe!! How did this get by the proofreader? This error is displayed on Highway 5 in Benton, Arkansas.

CNN Error

The subject of a verb will not be in a prepositional phrase; the subject and verb do not agree in the sentence stating that "one in 50 school-aged children HAVE autism." It should read that one in 50 HAS autism.

Reader's Digest Errors

There should be a comma after "say" before the quotation in the headline. The first paragraph contains an error in pronoun and antecedent agreement. "A loyal subscriber" is singular and "their" is plural. The most politically correct way to correct the error would be to change subscriber to "loyal subscribers."

Is/are looking out for his safety

It should read "ARE looking out for his safety." The subject is plural.

Tranportation/transportation

I thought I had already posted this. (Sorry for the repeated post if I have.) There is a missing "s" in "tranportation."

I'm not A Arkansas girl.

This shirt uses "a Arkansas girl" instead of "an Arkansas girl." When a word, such as Arkansas, begins with a vowel sound, AN is the correct choice. I think of it as separating the two vowel sounds.

The True Violators

This little shopping area just off Rodney Parham in Little Rock, Arkansas, has violated grammar rules in its quest to stop skateboarding and roller blading. No apostrophe is needed since the violators do not own anything.

And/an

It should read "in AN environmentally-friendly way."

Were they sleeping or were they captured?

Thanks to a Facebook friend for the link to this article. The most glaring mistake is that according to this headline, the suspects were sleeping (napped) rather than captured (nabbed). I believe they arrested TWO suspects, not TO suspects. Furthermore, the department HAS arrested, not HAVE arrested. The victim's name should be punctuated differently, either with a comma after the name as well as before or with no commas. The word WHEN should be inserted after MOTHER. I didn't even post the whole article!!
Oh, Bryant News, you DO need a proofreader.
