I maintain that the worst things of all are quotation marks, which are supposed to connote that something isn't right...not be inserted in advertising for emphasis.
Are you more interested in a Free Offer, or a "Free" Offer? (I rest my case!)
Did anyone catch on Fox News Wednesday morning the caption below the Christie Brinkley story? It was supposed to be 'Good Riddance', but they had it spelled, 'Good Riddens'. I was screaming at the TV.
I've seen that spelling mistake here on the forum, funny how I see everyone elses and miss my own.

That irritates me, too. I think you were the one who also pointed out the use of "Fresh" produce.
I do think the misuse of apostrophes makes me grind my teeth a little harder, though. It seems to be getting worse. I see it everywhere.
This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read on here.
About a month ago I had a colonoscopy. The procedure is not fun and I usually try to make nervous, light-hearted fun of the ordeal when I go in for the procedure.
So I walk up to the receptionist and she asks, "May I help you?"
"Yes," I said, "I'm here to have a sodomoscopy."
She never cracked a smile. She just handed me a clipboard with a form on it and told me to fill it out.

With all due respect, You think that was the first time she heard that one?

Or people who send out printed Christmas--or any--cards signed "The Smiths." (You'd think the company that printed the cards might bring that to their attention.)
