"Wrong"

In New Mexico, quotation marks are considered a decorative form of punctuation to be used at random

Ah Paradise

Paradise, Paridise, Pair o' dice, Parrot Ice
And the worst part? The word is spelled correctly directly above.

Top Ten

We probably have a "top 48" but I couldn't find that list on the internet.

Why it costs so much to send your kid to the Academy

Okay, so this one is particularly difficult.

There's a new produce store in Albuquerque. The name? Farmers Market. So that's where we go to buy farmers now.

Sunflower, a local grocery chain, puts the words "Farmer's Market" underneath their signage. What I want to know is, who is THE farmer who grows all of Sunflower's food?

And finally, Academy gets it right. They host a market where you can buy the produce grown by many farmers. Good job, Academy.

Now, all we have to do is save up our money to buy a premium tomato there.

A Real Lemon


The saddest thing about this sign is that I actually read it. Who does that?

HUH??



I think this is supposed to say "Clearance items!"

However, the $ instead of an "s", the apostrophe, and the three exclamation marks are confusing. Clearly the people at Grandma's Attic are more concerned with tuning instruments and smoking pot than correct grammar.

Was that too mean?

It's means it is!


Usually, apostrophe-s means a word is possessive. That is not the case with it's and its. It's is the contraction for "it is", while "its" is the possessive. This was my problem rule growing up; just remember, throw that apostrophe out with its trash!

Yes, Let's

I have to look at this disgrace every time I work. Let's, dangit, let's!

Fickle Shoe Store


Sheesh, if you're going to forget apostrophes, at least be consistent about it!

Your amazing what?


A classic example of someone who has not learned the difference between "your" and "you're".

Less than a penny!


Someone should go to Federico's, order the "chiken" tacos, give them a penny, and tell them to keep the change. Or, we could just tell them it's "$0.99 tacos" or "99 cent tacos". Oh, and chicken has another c. Also, I do not know how to find the cent symbol.
