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.

Is this post funny? Yes you can!
This is a great sign and makes me feel slightly sick reading it.
