"This is a bawdy tale. Herein you will find gratuitous shagging, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity, as well as non-traditional grammar, split infinitives, and the odd wank. If that sort of thing bothers you, then gentle reader pass by, for we only endeavor to entertain, not to offend. That said, if that’s the sort of thing you think you might enjoy, then you have happened onto the perfect story!" ~ Christopher Moore, Fool

Things that make you go "doh"
I drove by a CVS Pharmacy and on the scrolling marque was the following:
"Dose your medicine taste yucky!!!!!!!"
Please note both errors. No wonder kids fail English....
Patti- I wondered with the "dose" but the punctuation bugged me!
TyAnna: I agree... good luck to their English teachers!
Hecate: "dose" instead of "does" and exclamation marks instead of question marks.
Curley- I know. We had a typo on our sign at work and I pointed it out, nicely, and people were upset that I noticed the error, not that there WAS an error! Geez...
Ummm, maybe it was a play on words!!! Oops I mean??? (hee, hee)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm really confused.
P
and I bet it was "kids" teens with summer job who did the marquee ;-)
ReplyDeleteOk I must be stupid cause I only see one error. LOL This would be why I am NOT an English teacher!
ReplyDeleteNobody proof-reads anymore. Not even on a scrolling marque.
