Should I tell them?

[Rebecca]

I passed a Wagreens which was advertising on their big sign "Easter Lily's." I feel like calling them. Should I?

What's a Wagreens?

[Félix]

I think it's your civic duty, Rebecca.

[Brittomart]

Best topic ever.

[Jim]

To "l" with it!

[Rebecca]

Oops!

[Sarah]

Fight the coming apostropocalypse!

[Rebecca]

I wanna say, "Who is Easter Lily? And what of hers do you have?"

[Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~]

HA!

[RandomAnthony]

Ha! Have you noticed that all Wagreens/Walgreens smell exactly the same, by the way? How does that happen? They all have bad, Wal-Martish lighting, too.

[Sally, la reina]

I bet whoever answered the phone would pretend to be happy and then just forget the second she hung up. Don't do it.

Crap. I'm not prepared for an apostropocalypse. I don't have any bottled water or guns.

[Félix]

Duct tape is all you really need.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

True. You can make a water catch and maybe a spear with duct tape.

[Félix]

And when the kids get hungry and start to cry you can tape their mouths.

Yeah, I think so too. But it's right by my house. I go by there every day. I could call tomorrow and pester them again!!!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes. Call, and keep calling until the sign gets changed. This is reprehensible and unforgivable. Heads should role.

[Effyocouch]

Their not going to care. They don't make enough to be spelling bee champs.

[Félix]

Their apostraphitises.

[Effyocouch]

Sorry I meant there.

[Félix]

Here, there, everywhere.

[Effyocouch]

I guess this is probably an example of when I should put disclaimers on my sarcasm.

[Effyocouch]

**Turns Sarcasm Off**

Besides the rules only mention you're and your. Didn't see anything about their, they're, and there.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Effyocouch makes a good point. The TC grammar rules need to be expanded. I have felt this for a long time. There is no mention of its/it's/its'.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It was in the rules in 2009 and then removed? I wouldn't know, I didn't join until later.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I haven't read through all 7 billion threads yet.

[Jonathan]

I think I'm clear on its and it's. But what is its'?

A permutation occasionally employed by the confused. Perhaps one day we will see i'ts.

[Jonathan]

Oka'y.

[Félix]

Oak hay?

[Rebecca]

I thought I remembered seeing it when I joined. But anyway, everybody makes careless mistakes in casual situations, but in professional ones, it just looks like you don't give a shit.

[Félix]

Sometimes we're extra nerdy about giving a shit. :)

if i were a sign painter you all would have coronaries

take a picture and send it to Jay Leno's headlines or post it on youtube

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The BBC News reported (4-17-10) that Penguin Group Australia had destroyed 7,000 copies of a newly printed cookbook because of a typographical error. In one recipe, the prescribed ingredients included “salt and freshly ground black people” (the intended word having been pepper). Bob Sessions, head of publishing, said: “Proofreading a cookbook is an extremely difficult task. We’re mortified that this has become an issue of any kind, and why anyone would be offended, we don’t know.”

The National Review finds this the best. typo. ever - why is that not surprising...

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Remember when the Nationals had jerseys done that read "Natinals"?

I wonder how freshly ground people would taste

[Félix]

Soylent Green.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I see people mix up the words 'waist' and 'waste' quite often.

[Phil]

Really? I think their silly to waist they're limited brain cell's trying to right something if they don't no how to spell.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

What about too, to, and two?

[[deleted user]]

A case of missed opportunity. I don't know what Phil was thinking.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Filbert.

[Sally, la reina]

This thread makes me hurt.
