Arkansas Travelers Receipt Mistake


My sister-in-law noticed this mistake while we were attending an Arkansas Travelers game. The apostrophe is unnecessary since the Travs do not own anything here.

SKYPE


I hope you can read this. I just learned how to capture a window on the screen. Wow! I also just opened a Skype account today. In the process of adding people to my list, I found this screen. It is such a gem. Notice the bulleted list underneath the red line of text. Ironically, spelt is mispelled. The apostrophe in contact's is unnecessary since the writer merely wanted to make a plural, not a possessive. The error is repeated in the second bullet. Ahhh! I will have to search more windows in the Skype program.

I have not closely scoured this sign. I took this one at the zoo and immediately noticed that the author used "it's" when "its" would have been appropriate.

Thanks to Melissa for this one. (Now, Brett, it is time to stop laughing at her for so quickly alerting me to this gem.) I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of the sign, but the correct spelling is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Additionally, the author should have used "reigns" as opposed to "reins." At least, he/she did not use "rains."
Once again... the apostrophe-S ('s) does NOT a plural make. The apostrophes in this sign are wrong.
