Grammatical Crimes – Put on the Cuffs!

I’ve been finding more and more grammar errors lately. On signs. On menus. On blogs and in the media. Even in books.

Maybe I’m more critical of these mistakes because I’m a writer, but I gotta admit they make me nuts. And they make me wonder: just why are people making these mistakes anyway? Coz, in my brain, these mistakes have become more prominent than ever.
