The owners of this fine establishment concede that “4” is a silly abbreviation for a word that’s only two characters longer than the number (and zero characters longer than the number and quotation marks). They refuse, however, to make the same concession about the much more complicated word “you.”

My friend Casey’s mom found this at a flea market! I will admit that I sat here for a second trying to figure out what in the picture was from or related to Oregon. Then I had a *facepalm* moment.

Happy Monday! Somehow, I imagine it was a Monday when the person responsible submitted the order for this sign — and Monday again when the printer printed it — and Monday again when it arrived and was mounted by someone who just did. not. care. Thanks, GrammarTroika Sister #1’s friend Christen!

I *hope* this is a typo, and not somebody thinking it’s correct. “R” is right next to “t” on our QWERTY keyboards, after all. But… it could really go either way. Thanks to GrammarTroika Sister #3 and her intrepid photographer, GTS#4!

Where to start? The spelling? The punctuation? The bizarre nationalism? Thanks, GrammarTroika Sister #2!

You ever wish you had a specific dish? Like, you never before really needed an 8×8 Pyrex, but now you kind of do? Michael Z. has the perfect tool for you: a dishwisher! Whether it actually CLEANS those dishes is anybody’s guess.

This is just an ugly-looking word. It doesn’t even make me giggle. Thanks, Kacia!
