What I really find shocking is the growing number of glaring grammatical errors contained in expensive advertising, as well as commercial signage.
Too true. Check out the signs at the Wolfgang Puck counter at the Symphony sometime. Every single one of them has a spelling or punctuation error on it. I could almost believe someone had put them there on purpose to amuse and/or annoy pedantic symphony-goers…
I don’t rant about this sort of thing often, and it’s not the end of the world, but even on forum postings, I notice it. It’s distracting and pulls me away from the meaning of what I’m reading.
