They don't loose firefighters; they lose firefighters. Spellcheck won't catch this. This is from Fox16's website.

Set means to put or place. Sit means to rest or recline. Set is transitive, which means that it must have a direct object. (The subject must be setting something.) This headline should use the word sit.

Have I posted this one before? If so, it deserves repeating. The quotation marks around CAWS are unnecessary. The worst mistake is the unnecessary apostrophe after specialist.

A fellow Augusta High School grad and English teacher alerted me to this sign posted at King Field in Augusta, Arkansas. I think the author of the sign means that they love the Red Devils (minus the apostrophe). The only way the apostrophe is necessary is if they love something owned by the Red Devils.

I found this one in the Otter Creek area of Little Rock. There are two mistakes in this one. Notice the strange abbreviation of Wednesday. Also, AT is the wrong preposition; ON is the more appropriate preposition of the two.

Notice the it's/its confusion.

CalendEr should be calendAr. 

Zaxby's Mistake

Thanks to Sarah for this one. Instead of "His is the best birthday ever," it should be "This is the best birthday ever."  I wonder how many of these were printed.

I assume that the conversation went something like this: "I need a cake with the words 'Best Wishes, Suzanne' and underneath that write, 'We will miss you.'"  The capitalization is random.

I think that QUALIFY should be QUALIFIED. The down payment doesn't qualify you.

Notice that in the headline intolerance is misspelled, but in the body of the article it is spelled correctly. This is from KARK Channel 4's website.

A student found this one at a store in Little Rock.  You will notice when you take a look that the letter R has been penciled in. How hard would it have been just to make another sign? 

This is my first attempt at mobile blogging. (I know, I know, welcome to this century.)  This sign is from the UPS Store in Benton, Arkansas. Some commas are missing, but the most glaring mistake is the unnecessary apostrophe in the last sentence.
