Not tremendously exciting, but still an intriguing use of random capitals, a debatable hyphen, and one gleefully extraneous comma!

So, the Best Western in Roswell, GA, features this carpet in not one but at least THREE locations in its lobby and entranceways:
What I find especially interesting is that the hotel also has plenty of these, often only inches away:
I wonder if they just didn’t notice that half of them are spelled wrong? Or they just don’t care?

I like this one because “nohrt” reminds me of “snort,” which is a funny word. Thanks, Shannon!

In fact, you are so ugly, that your spouse is going to vacation without you. In fact, he’ll probably run off with the cute girl who makes the cocktails. And they will live on the island forever, breeding perfect, gorgeous children and acting as spokespersons for some incredible charity. And you know why? BECAUSE YOU ARE UGLY.

It starts off telling you how to figure out what to order, and not to grab a table before you order. But then you get to the last little mini-paragraph on the sign at Noodles & Co., and you see the attached.
Is it bad that I’m tempted to take a Sharpie and add a comma and a semi-colon? There are actually 2 signs in the restaurant, more or less identical. (And no, this isn’t actually hand-written. They’re mass-produced, and there’s at least one in every location.)
No, Laura, it’s not bad. It’s natural. Give in to your urges. Carry a red pen!

The worst part about this one is that it isn’t a typo. If you happen to visit a Burlington Coat Factory near you, you’ll notice signs all over the place for “mens” and “womens” this and that. It is a sad, sad world.

Ben found this one. It either speaks to you or it doesn’t.

Okay, I know this is intended to sound informal and approachable. But what it actually is, is sick and wrong.
Real sick and wrong, as it were.
