The Dryer Makes Your Car Drier

Find this one on Reynolds Road in Bryant, Arkansas. It should be written DRYER. Dryer=noun, machine that dries. Drier=adjective, not as wet. 
According to this website (http://grammarist.com/usage/drier-dryer/), the distinction between the two spellings is relatively new.

Salty Bowels??

This is from the Facebook page of a small-town police department competing with a neighboring police department's Facebook page. Both pages seek to report the work of the police each day.  The most glaring error on the page is the use of Salt BOWEL instead of Salt Bowl. There should be a comma after well, an additional period after the ellipsis or no ellipsis at all, a comma after the introductory clause ending with Salt Bowel, a period between twist and they.

The author of this sign delights passersby with humorous gems. This political gem needs one more O in "TO."


I chuckled at the blatant disregard for the message on this sign. The capitalization is random. I found this one in Bryant, Arkansas' Target.


The MOBILE HOMES need no apostrophe.

PATS needs an apostrophe.

I quit buying gas from Big Red stores about a year ago when I bought a bad tank of gas from them, and they wouldn't pay for the repairs; I do miss the fertile ground for grammar mistakes, though. Here the apostrophe after sundae is incorrect. The scoop of orange sherbet was yummy.

Tsk. Tsk. Hallmark, you should know that this spelling of stationary means not moving. The correct spelling of the paper upon which one writes is stationery.
No apostrophe necessary.

To-two-too

I'm not sure what this means, but I am sure that the writer should have used TO instead of TOO. This was beside Interstate 30 in Bryant, Arkansas.

It is spelled u-n-t-i-l. This one is on Highway 5 in Bryant, Arkansas.
**** This one was changed the day after I took this picture.
