We’ve all been there. Driving down the road and there is a sign propped up against a sofa in a yard “For sell” or the menu at the restaurant that says “Faxed orders now excepted.” Like me, I’m sure many of you find the urge to laugh is often in direct competition with the urge to cry. Easy access to home computers and printers has made every small business owner, plumber, dog breeder, and soccer mom believe they can do any print job all by themselves, and no - they don’t need no stinking proof reader!
No, we are not grammar Nazis. Yes, anyone can make a mistake. That is why it is important to let someone else look at any item, sign, or story before it goes “to press.” Please share your experiences with grammatical eccentricities in the comments.
p.s. - please report any typos in this story or any future stories to mockette@biteme.com.
p.s.s - sigh...really if you see a typo please let us know. Maybe we can fix it before anyone else sees it...thanks.
