My friend Lisa, a.k.a. the First Year Teacher, went to New York for the weekend. She’s a grammar stickler in her own right and she took a few pictures of errors that she found.
Check them out:
This particular sign is fantastic for our amusement because the errors are so plentiful! Which one is worse: the usage of the fake word lite, the hyphen in ice-cream, or the redundancy of diet lite?
Ah, comma, you truly are the ugly stepchild of this sign. If only you had been a colon, a period or an exclamation point!
Also, I have some very exciting news in my life! There are a few pieces of news, actually. I can’t wait to unveil it all next week.
Thanks, Lisa!

At least they didn’t describe their ice cream as a “De-lite.”
