Walgreens - Punctuation Fail!

Today I went to Walgreens pick up some medicine and buy some other necessities, and what do I see on the wall?  A company poster/advertisement that says "Walgreens can fill your prescription's and text you when they're ready."  What is wrong with this sentence?  If you don't know, you probably work for Walgreen's corporate marketing department.

I can't help noticing these things.  English major = grammar and punctuation police. 

I wonder if companies and other organizations are reducing their budgets by cutting out copy editor and proofreader jobs.  If they are, it shows.

Washington State Department of Transportation - Spelling Fail!

So on Father's Day weekend, John and I to Silverlake so that he can ride the Tour de Blast (and he made it the whole route!).  On the way down, we passed the usual summer road construction, this time on I5 south, and my eagle editor eye spotted the sign just before the construction:

"No Sholder."

Yeah.  I wonder how many people caught that?

MSNBC and the Wickedness of the World

Grammar and usage alert!

The article, which is about human evolution, starts out like this:

Despite the sheer enormity of our planet, we humans are far more closely related than we should be.

Say what?

Apparently MSNBC thinks the vile wickedness of our planet exists despite how closely related people are, even though there might be something pervy about it.

Ye gods.

Okay, maybe not pervy, but we certainly shouldn't be that closely related.  Maybe.
