Illiterate Businesses

WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FEATURES ILLITERATEBUSINESSES.CA

The Winnipeg Free Press is taking aim at punctuation errors in Winnipeg business signs, and is leaning on illiteratebusinesses.ca founder, Maria Ford, for help.

Ford will proofread and provide commentary on alleged punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors that Winnipeg Free Press readers submit to the publication over the next week.

A Bit TOO Exclusive

"Saw this at an Atlanta Braves' game. Too bad Lexus didn't have someone to proofread this prior to print."

It's a neat marketing idea - to provide Lexus owners with preferred parking - but the punctuation error actually makes it a much more exlusive offer than Lexus likely intended. In fact, it would appear the the entire lot is reserved for one particular Lexus!
