I saw this sign today at Thrifty's and had to take a picture because I am a huge geek. I showed it to GP and we both agreed that mixing up effect/affect is a huge pet peeve. I won't hold it against you if you don't know the difference. Yet another reason for someone to hire me: I can keep you from looking like a fool to people like me. Everyone needs a hobby, mine just happens to be looking for spelling and grammar errors anywhere and at all times.

My boyfriend always uses "than" instead of "then".
ReplyDeleteI used to be employed in the Thrifty produce department, this never would have happened on my watch. At the very least I would have taken a sharpie to it.
