Wordsplosion!

The worst one is “Headquarter’s” because “Headquarter” isn’t a noun. It only exists as “Headquarters.” What’s with those 5s? Has this sign been up since trees cost $2? I’d hate to have been tree shopping the day after they raised their price by 1150%.

• None of the words on the billboard requires an apostrophe
• the 5s on the billboard appear to be from a different font (and the wrong size)

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)

Alternate reading: the store is actually named “@.”  The TV spots would, of course, have to use the “where you at?” catchphrase.  Response: “@’s where I’m at!”

I decided to promote Wordsplosion on Facebook and got some instant unintentional help.  Also: geography fail.

• The sentence should start with a capital letter
• “its was” should be “It was”
• Both instances of “further” should be “farther” (as she is talking about physical distance)
• “egypt” should be capitalized
• “africa” should be capitalized
• “thats” should be “that’s”
• Egypt is a country within Africa, and is one of the easternmost countries in that continent (thus being farther away from North America than most other African countries)
• too many exclamation points

I sense your urgency!

• “ROSE FROM THE DEATH” should be “ROSE FROM THE DEAD”
• “HES COMING” should be “HE’S COMING”
• There should be a space after “SHORT,”
• “REPENT!!!” and “croos!!” should only have one exclamation point
• “He die for you in a croos” should be “He died for you on a cross”
• “Mount of olive church” should be “Mount of Olive Church”

If I were a marble engraver, I would engrave mistakes without saying anything. It’s not like my logo would be on it.  And if they cared, I’d get to charge them again.

• “IT’S FUTURE” should be “ITS FUTURE” (no apostrophe)

Superscript, he can handle.  Everything else, not so much.

• “You has” should have “You have”
• “a secret person who like’s you” should be “a secret person who likes you” (or better: “a secret admirer”)
• “Find” has no reason to be capitalized in the middle of a sentence
• “who I’m am” should be “who I am”
• There should be no comma between “Your” and “lover”

Sorry Thank. I didn’t “realize” it was your “door.”
