This sign and the following 2 signs are posted side-by-side in the work area at the Christian supply store Mardel in Little Rock, Arkansas. Proper spelling for the 2 misspelled words in this sign is c-o-n-f-e-r-e-n-c-e and a-v-a-i-l-a-b-l-e. (Let's have a conference about the availability of spell checking on the company computer and good old-fashioned use of a dictionary.) THIS SIGN IS MADE EVEN MORE ANNOYING BY THE USE OF ALL CAPS. TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK, PLEASE. Posted by Picasa
This one is from Mardel as well. Chill with the capital letters! "WITH NO % OF INTREST" is not only strangely worded, but also the word is correctly spelled i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t. Posted by Picasa
Ahhh, too bad the person posting this sign did not see a dictionary REPRESENTATIVE before posting this sign. This one is from Mardel, as well. What's up with ALL CAPS? AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO FINDS ALL CAPS DIFFICULT TO READ AND EXCRUCIATINGLY OBNOXIOUS??? Posted by Picasa
I found this one at Mardel in Little Rock. "WHAT'S YOUR GENRE?" or "WHAT ARE YOUR GENRES?" would be correct, but as is, this has a subject/verb agreement problem. What's means what is. Is should be used with a singular noun, not the plural noun genres. Posted by Picasa
