Split Infinitives
I concede that split infinitives sometimes are acceptable. This is not one of those instances. #nomadsnonsense #splitinfinitive
Misplaced Modifier
This headline seems to indicate that this man killed his wife while they were both in prison. The article reveals that the man went to jail because he killed his wife. This is a great example of a misplaced modifier. #nomadsnonsense #grammarfails #grammarfail

Do Due
Thanks to one of Nomadsnonsense's most faithful readers for this find at his workplace. #nomadsnonsense #spellingfail #grammarfail #grammarfails
To a "T"
Following the instructions "to a 'T'" must have taken a "T" from the headline. #nomadsnonsense #grammarfail #grammarfails #spellingfail #hottrends
Nauseated and Nauseous
Nauseous and nauseated are not interchangeable. If he is nauseous, he makes others sick. If he is nauseated, he is sick. #nomadsnonsense #nauseousnauseated #grammarfail #grammarfails
Safely Searching
Using "safely" indicates that the people who were searching for the woman were safe. Either reword the sentence or use the word "safe." #nomadsnonsense #grammarfail
Bear and Bare
Since this article is not about the officer taking off clothes to reveal his scars and the article details that the officer carries these scars with him, the correct spelling is bears. #nomadsnonsense #grammarfails #grammarfail #grammar
Spelling Inconvenience
Pizza Hut should also be sorry for the misspelling of inconvenience. #nomadsnonsense #spellingfail #pizzahut

Quotation Mark Abuse
Quotation marks do not add emphasis. They punctuate some titles. They show irony. They denote words that are spoken. #nomadsnonsense #quotationmarks #grammarfail #grammarfails
No Comma Before Because
No comma is needed before a dependent clause. #nomadsnonsense #grammarfail #grammarfails #grammar #comma #commas
What's an Only?
I'm not sure what an "only" is, but whatever it is, an employee owns it. Seriously though, the apostrophe is unnecessary because the intention of the sign maker is to say that employees only may use this door. #grammarfails #grammarfail #grammar #nomadsnonsense #apostrophe #apostropheerror
