If this is a sign intended to tell a hostess not to SEAT people here, then this sign is correct; if it is intended to tell patrons not to SIT here, then this sign should read "SIT" not "SEAT." #nomadsnonsense #seatandsit #grammarfail #grammar #stuttgart #stuttgartarkansas

No apostrophe is needed in margaritas since it is plural rather than possessive. #nomadsnonsense #apostrophe
Solved

Thank you to Allison for this Wal-Mart error. No apostrophe needed for the plural form. If I recall correctly, the university does use "bisons" for the plural. The apostrophe is definitely wrong in this context. #Nomadsnonsense #Harding #hardinguniversity #bison #bisons #apostrophe #walmart
Accept vs. Except
This should be written as follows: We cannot accept $100 bills until after 11 A.M. Accept means to allow. Except means not to allow, to X something. #acceptexcept #grammar #grammarfail

Who and Whom
Who is a subject. Whom is an object. This sentence should be written, Who rescued whom? Whom is working as a direct object in this sentence. #whowhom #nomadsnonsense #hallmark #subjectobject #grammarfail
