I'll admit it every day of the week: I'm a grammar and spelling nazi. To me, they're immediate, distinct badges of education and professionalism. You know that a person means business when they can put their intentions into words, placing all of the letters carefully into the correct order ...
Which, my friends, is why I have to look away every time I pass this sign along the highway. Yes, it says 'Year End Clearence'. It sends intense, shooting pain up my spine and makes my hand itch for a red pen (or a can of red spray paint). But, on the other hand, I honestly doubt that his sales have been very negatively effected by his lack of a dictionary. (and, apparently, the signmaker's)

I'll be waiting eagerly to read your next post.
