I received a great submission from reader Sarah. Check this out:
(I’m assuming that she changed the license plate.)
I’m sure this is an incident that makes all of us grammarians smile. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing someone being a bit of an ass, then making such a grievous error.
It’s great ammunition, I find. You probably won’t call the person out on it (not unless you get into some kind of screaming match and release it in a fit of anger), but you can keep it in the back of your mind, just in case.
It makes you smile.
It makes me smile.
Have you ever called someone out on his or her grammar skills while in the middle of an argument? I’m not sure that I have, but it definitely HAS been done to me. But that is another post for another time.
Gee, it’s not as if there wasn’t enough room on the license-plate frame for a couple of apostrophes and an “e”! 🙂
