Didn’t management write this memo?

• Using two exclamation points is questionable. Using five is unforgivable.
• “TROW” should be “THROW”
• Presumably “ON” should be “IN”
• Why does management need to be targeted by framed sign? Are they really the worst offenders?

All is forgiven if you tell me where you’re selling diesel fuel for under $2.00!

• “Prices” should be “Price”
• There should be a period after “Broke”
• “Broke” doesn’t need to be capitalized
• “incovience” should be “inconvenience”

• The exclamation points after “GIRLS” should probably be a comma
• “LIFES” should be “LIVES”
• “GENOROSITY” should be “GENEROSITY”
• This is too hard. I feel like I’m reading a MySpace blog. I’m out.

Everyone should have their own Benedict.

• “Egg’s” and “Pancake’s” do not need an apostrophe
• Latte and Scrambled don’t need a period
• “CHocoLate” should have consistent capitalization
• “Crossants” should be “Croissants”
• “SURVEILANCE” should be “SURVEILLANCE”

Sidenote: can someone find me a sign with “caution” in quotes? That’d make my year.

• “BEFORE” doesn’t need to be in quotes
• The quotes after “BEFORE” are improperly rotated 180 degrees

I’m imagining the parking garage in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, with parking attendants taking my car out for a joy ride.

• “INCLUTED” should be “INCLUDED”
• The colon in “8:AM” is not necessary
• The “8″ in “8:AM” appears to be accidentally or intentionally altered so that it sort of looks like a “6″
• “24 – 7″ should be “24/7″

At least they got “shirt” right.

• “sripe” should be “striped”
• “botton” should be “button”
• “button down” should be hyphenated

The “fast food is garbage” meme may merit further consideration.

• “take-out” should be “take out” to avoid giving the impression that the trash they haul is repurposed as food
• There are multiple capitalization inconsistencies

Does this motel really have a bowl of sedatives in the front office?

• “fury” should say “furry”
• The construction of “and why not a treat for yourself” is awkward
• “and why not a treat for yourself.” should end with a question mark
• The capitalization of “Great Day” is arbitrary

New rule: don’t design a quiz that you can’t pass yourself.

• The word “Your” should be “You’re”
• There should be a question mark at the end

• It is strange that the N is capitalized but the beginning E is not
• The apostrophe does not belong

Point’s for consistency. Don’t miss the bonus semi-colon.

• After “PHONE” there should be a colon (:) not a semicolon (;)
• All the words that end in an “S” have an incorrect apostrophe (there should be no apostrophe anywhere on the van)

I like to imagine that they had to add the second sheet of paper after someone tried to barter using a goat.  Of course their solution to that would probably be to add “NO Goats” to the end.

• “Credit Cars” should be “Credit Cards”
• The sentence lacks punctuation, and is awkwardly phrased
• Better: “Sorry, our credit card machine is broken. Cash only.”
