*First 5 words free, English only. For longer signs, we can talk...
*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.

Call me weird, but I think this sign would be funny even without the spelling error...
Thanks again to Paige in Gainesville, FL. She teaches an undergraduate Mass Communications class and is perhaps going to save a few souls from the shame of having signs they were responsible for appearing on a blog like this.

I love it when a grammatical error, spelling mistake, or malapropism actually create a new word, concept, or deeper level of meaning. Take this sign in Florida, which is supposed to be advertising lawn mower repairs. I'm not really certain what a "LawOwer" is but it seems plausible. I wonder if this person is doing much business ...
Our contributor, Paige from Gainesville FL, says:
"The other side of the sign (which I wasn't able to photograph) is spelled the same
way, but the sign maker tried to insert an N after the fact. Still no sign of
the missing M."
