I received this hilarious picture from reader Brian, via Universal Hub.
But what is so scary about what lurks behind the sign?
Is it a man-eating squid? A giant squid that eats men?
Or is it a man eating squid? A huge fat guy shoving forkfuls of calamari into his mouth?
Either scenario is pretty frightening.
And some say that hyphens don’t matter!
I didn’t even pause before reading this as “Man eating squid”, as in a person eating some delicious calamari.
Oh, grammar.
Hyphens matter unless they follow “ly.”
