My friends have been blowing up my inbox with examples of errors in the wild. My favorite is this one from Cheryl and Steph:
They’ll eat anything in Hartsville, S.C., apparently.
Heidi, Elizabeth and Rachel sent this one:
It is a cornucopia of apostrophe and quotation mark misuse.
Finally, Charlotte (an always-reliable source of fodder for this blog) sent this image. “This on our ‘heterosexual’ luggage tags,” she wrote.

Thank you all, and keep ’em coming!

With mistakes like that McDonald’s sign, I always envision giggling teenagers going, “Hmm, I wonder how long it will take anyone to notice if we leave the ‘g’ out of ‘Angus.'” I’d feel better about the state of American education if I knew that mistake was deliberate. But there’s no possibility of that with the other signs!
