Nitpickers anonymous
And not so anonymous, it would seem. Web “Perthonality” Miles Burke has a site – WrongWrite – showcasing snapshots of bad spelling, grammar and incorrect punctuation on signs. I submitted a picture of a display stand that had been bugging me in the local video library for a long time – check it out, it’s hard to believe that a) someone employed to design a sign like that would think an apostrophe should actually go there; b) that it managed to get all the way to the printers without anyone saying “ummm… about that apostrophe…”; and c) no one works at the store who cares enough to colour in, cover up or otherwise disguise the offending puntuative imprint (yes, I’m making words up).
You just had to sneak in the “Perthonality” bit ! 😉
It’s my favourite new word 🙂
hahaha, Perthonality? I don’t know if I should be offended or excited by that. 🙂
