Sir Benedict’s: The Brew’s Are Fantastic; the Grammar’s is Not.

Awning outside of one of my favorite restaurants in Duluth, MN. It’s an English place so you’d think they’d have the language down.

Your/You’re Confusion: Tesco Cake

Seen in a Tesco supermarket store in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. I alerted the manager, who looked confused about the nature of my complaint. I gave up, but notice that a year or so later it has now been corrected.

Mom’s Trust Johnsons…but not for grammar

This was the back cardboard packaging of a two pack of a new product. HOW ON EARTH did this get through their packaging group undetected?

…but not for your spelling.

Three Cheers for the 2 morons who did this. The first moron who asked for it, and then the painter who followed through with the request without correcting.
