Did I flunk 7th grade English? Yes you can!

No wonder our country is becoming illiterate. It should read,
"Slot play for only a penny?" "Yes, only a penny!"
or
"Can you play slots for only a penny?" "Yes you can!"

"Any of these for only 99c?" "Yes, they're 99c!"
or
"Can you buy any of these for 99c?" "Yes you can!"

It's one thing to rely upon the implied "you", another to imply entire phrases.

Northwest' Honda's Billboard's

Northwest Honda is always good for an unnecessary apostrophe or two. I first noted their previous board and was disappointed I didn't get a picture of it before they replaced it with this one. It was even more difficult to read, with a very busy background and had lots and lots of plural words ending with 's. I was relieved when I spotted their new one still possessing a grammatical error, even though I'd emailed their marketing department pointing out the failure of their message.

Welcome to Billboard Disasters: Billboards that Fail

We all know about the big disaster this date commemorates, but there has been dwelling in our midst a virulent yet little complained-about phenomena: billboards that butcher the English language. Along the lines of Cake Disasters and "Fail" is a blog that is dedicated to those large signs along the roadside. The ones that went wrong somewhere along the line. Whether there is a blatant typo, grammatical offense, apostrophe abuse or you just can't read it from a moving vehicle, it deserves its special place to expose the foolishness of whoever designed it.
