Meg found this, although she didn’t say whether it’s from her own employee software, so I do not know. Meg wants to know what exactly a “vaction” is. But I’m kind of more interested in the SICK days. None of the other designations are capitalized. Does that mean SICK is an acronym? For what? And [...]

I feel unclean and I cannot quite express why
I love you all. I appreciate every submission (and want more! MORE!). But sometimes I get submissions I choose not to use, because I don’t like them. It’s my blog. Sometimes I feel like the mistake was so obviously made by someone struggling with English that I don’t find it amusing… I’ve made hideous errors [...]

SmashBURGER, that is. Because apparently you guys like to make sure that when I do an RPB post, I get hungry. Or is it something about food that makes sign-writers less careful? I mean, in this case, the name of the restaurant is written incorrectly. Anyway, my father is once again proud to have a [...]

Q found this, and my reaction is mostly “What?” I’m so busy trying to parse when I could use a Groupon that I barely even notice the totally random capitalization, spacing, punctuation, etc.

I’m with you, Reporter #1. I really am. You said: For the love of Pete, just shrink the font a couple of points to get the space btw every & day! I just think this is One Of Those Things that is so far gone we’re tilting at windmills. Only moreso, if you know what [...]

First! Here is a picture of a bunny chillaxing — or not! — on a CozyWinters small animal heating pad! That’s the first thing you’ll see on this page,which is apparently where Lisa S. buys nice things for her residents. And I say “residents” and not “pets” deliberately, because Lisa runs the Atlanta Metro Guinea [...]

Apparently, Tumbleweed Pottery has done some seriously intense market research. They’ve discovered that there are enough mug-loving cat owners whose cats are named Honey to merit a product line just for those people! I would have bought this for my husband — or rather, I would have bought it for my husband to give back [...]

When Kacia sent this in, I LMAO. Not at the picture so much, but at Kacia, who said: I was disappointed that they didn’t also advise me about Rather time, You Don’t Say time, and Well I Never time! Hint: it’s even funnier if you hear it in Anthony Stewart Head’s voice.

Colleen submits this for your analysis: Sign posted on our condo complex’s gate. Apparently in all 60 units there is only one owner (must be us) and our HOA president doesn’t see a need for much punctuation or a signature. But, he is a HUGE fan of capital letters (and weird spacing)! It really is [...]

Dave is apparently traumatized. Count the mistakes! I got up to 12 completely different ones before I stopped caring. (Click to embiggen.) Um. So, am I the only one reading the instructions in my head in the Buffalo Bill voice? “It twists off the screw… it breaks off the card buckle…” *shudder* Among other things, [...]
