Ernie is a man of few words, and says only, “Look what I found…”

Keep reading; you’ll find it too.

I feel like they changed their minds mid-sentence…

My father found this one in Tennessee.  Thank goodness for cell phone cameras, is all I have to say.

Y, is the question.

Nolan found this in Tiger, GA.  She said, “That would be barnyard, I believe.”

But I’m not sure, Nolan… do we have any proof that the sawmill isn’t named Barnard?

Has to be a trick, ’cause it isn’t a treat…

Oh look, it’s the same exact sign as last year.  Only this year, our intrepid honorary RPB-er used a spider sticker instead of a candy corn!

And then we found a whole new one!

Happy day-after-Halloween, everybody!

No choice is also a choice. And it’s wrong.

This one’s even more frustrating because you could make an argument for either “owner’s” or “owners'” as a correct punctuation option.  The only thing you could do with an apostrophe here that would be incorrect is leave it out, which is obviously what the makers of this sign chose.  Argh.

…because it’s tough to imagine that the Federal Government doesn’t know the difference between “effect” and “affect.”

Also, we should note that the question on the left (which is sufficient unto itself) doesn’t combine properly with the phrases on the right, so we have punctuation and logic issues going on here too.

So easy to fix, so easy to mock.

Not to be nitpicky, but does this mean I can feed wildlife if the wildlife in question isn’t picking plants?

Where to start, mate?

Check this.

Apostrophe abuse… ellipsis elongation… a general lack of punctuation where such punctuation might make this sign actually legible.  Nice!

No. No, no, no. Just no.

Okay,  let me explain this.

“Y’all” is a correct amalgamation of “you” and “all,” which is presumably what we mean when we say “y’all” most times.

“Ya’ll” would have to be an amalgamation of “you” and “will” — like “you’ll” or “he’ll” or “we’ll”.  I can see that there would be cases in which this would be a correct spelling, but 99.9% of the time this isn’t what you mean, people.

I know not all y’all will agree about this.  To which I say:  my blog.  Take it elsewhere.  This is one error on which I will not budge.

Am I confused, or are you?

Oh, Kroger.  Are you asking me a question or are you just really excited?

Also, there’s an apostrophe in “Hershey’s.”
