FIVE WORDS FREE

I'm so devoted to this cause that I'll give you five words free! Here's how it works: Email me the copy for your business sign and I'll respond with a FREE copy edit.* Act today to ensure that your business never has to suffer the humiliation of being profiled on this website. If you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's simple: I'd rather spend 30 seconds making sure that a sign is error-free than 2 seconds looking at one that's wrong.
*First 5 words free, English only. For longer signs, we can talk...

SUBMIT

Email me your "Illiterate Business" photo. If it meets my criteria*, I'll post it to this site. If you tell me your name and describe the sign's error, I'll include that, too.
*Criteria: Business signs of my choosing that have grammar, spelling and/or punctuation errors. I know there are other kinds of annoying signs out there, but they make me laugh. This site is devoted to signs that cause me to experience nervous twitches.

PLAY GAME

EATS, SHOOTS & LEAVES Punctuation Game
Perhaps you have a sign about to go to print and you are wondering to yourself, "Do I need Maria's help?" The Online Punctuation Game might help you decide. If you get even ONE question wrong, then please take me up on my FIVE WORDS FREE offer (above).

Sure, fat jiggles, but is that any reason to mistake "Loose" for "Lose" on your very public banner ad? I think not.
