Hot Springs: Hot Bed of Mistakes

Tees doesn't need an apostrophe, but children's does.

No apostrophe needed. This one is from a Hot Springs, Arkansas, visitor's center.

Instead of We Sale, it should be written We Sell. This from an Econo Lodge.

The abbreviation for MANAGERS should be MGRS, not MRGS. I took this one myself and got a bit worried when a couple began staring at me because they thought I was taking a picture of them. They didn't seem like the type who would appreciate my finding the mistake on the sign, so I scurried to the car and left.

The comma after research is unnecessary because this is just a compound predicate, not a compound sentence. This is from a brochure promoting the building of a fairplex and passing of a sales tax in Saline County, Arkansas.

No grammar error exists in this sign, but I laughed when I imagined someone talking to a desk. This sign could be more accurately worded, "Please help us by informing the desk personnel." I HATE ALL CAPS!

Benton Easter Celebration Finds

As a part of the Easter celebration in Benton, Arkansas, the kids got to take part in a Safari/scavenger hunt activity. The activity was fun, and it got parents into stores in the courthouse area. Imagine my delight to have found these 2 errors. I wasn't brave enough to photograph the prominent sign with the word categories misspelled. Notice in both pictures the improper use of "your." The writer/writers intended to say "you are," so the appropriate expression would have been "you're." Perhaps grammar usage is going to the dogs. ;) Additionally, "The" should not be capitalized, especially since "to" is not.
