Ungrammatical Signs & Product Packaging
Since today's Word of the Day is grammar, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some examples of ungrammatical signage and the like.
Can you spot the mistakes?

I am one of the BIGGEST grammar freaks and I obsess over little details like the ones above. My boss makes handwritten signs / instructions where I work, and there are always a couple of mistakes, without fail. She's got it in her head that the abbreviation for "et cetera" is ect. and it drives me bonkers!
Two items:
One was a sign that was up for a week in our hometown that read: "Do not turn right when light is not green"
The other was on a huge old console TV someone had dumped off at the forks of our rural gravel road. During the first week someone put up a sign the read, "Dutch Creek drive-in movie" The second week someone else placed a hubcap full of horse turds on top with a sign that read, "Refreshments." The third week the county hauled the set off and the forth week someone put up a sign on that spot that read, "Closed for the season,"
Dutch Creek area is populated predominately by people of Polish ancestry and we have a unique sense of humor. It keeps us from punching out people who tell Polak jokes!
Greetings there!

Up to now I was continuously the individual getting benefit and information here and I have the impression it is time to pay a little back
Some time ago I experienced quite some trouble with my roof and I really searched for help. Either it is completely overpriced or the quality is incredibly bad. My search finished, as I found this magnificent company. See below and if you have trouble with your roof, just e-mail them. They do great work!
