you might be a grammar redneck...

Probably all of us by now have received emails with photos of funny signs that really screw up the English language. I get a kick out of it. I consider the folks who actually spend money and/or receive money to make a screwed up sign to be "grammar rednecks."

And I just happen to consider myself a bit of a grammar cop. So when I see stuff like what I'm about to show you, I chuckle. And then I roll my eyes and think grammar redneck.

I will actually, on occasion, photograph the offenders' work, with the intention of posting it here (and now I have a camera phone...so watch out!).

What you are about to see is real. These are Thinking Outside the Bunn exclusives. Enjoy.

Exhibit "A"

No alcohol on premise. Hmmm. On the premise of what? I'm going to operate on the premise that whoever did this sign has alcohol on their premises.





Exhibit "B"

Gotta blow the whistle on that one. Inappropriate use of an apostrophe. Unless, of course, the door belongs to the employee.







Exhibit "C"

Oops they did it again. Wait...maybe this sign belongs to one of the contractor's. :) Yeah, that would make it possessive. And, by the way, even if resident said OK....duh...NOT OK!






Exhibit "D" (my personal fave)

That's right, folks, we only got one, count 'em, one slushie here. Better hurry...it won't be here long...and then we'll have to take our sign down dangit.








Now, if you're reading this particular post and looking at these signs and saying to yourself, "What?...I don't see anything wrong with those signs." You might be...a grammar redneck.
