Automated proofreader Grammarly recently held a contest seeking submissions of photos featuring the most egregious grammar mistakes on signs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Above you can see the winning entry, and right off the bat I have a complaint.
That sign is obviously filled with purposeful misspellings intended to attract customers’ attention and underline the folksiness of the people selling the produce. I think it should have been disallowed rather than given the prize.
Below are the other top entries from North Texas.
UPDATE: Scandal! Looks like Grammarly didn’t really verify whether all of these were in North Texas. I’ve removed the McDonald’s image which, a reader correctly pointed out, was taken in Missouri. Proceed with caution.
