Deletia, thanks for the mobile upload! Here’s what she had to say:
Monro Brake is attempting to advertise “Trust and Confidence Every Day,” (or if they wanted to use the adjective form to convey that trust & confidence are commonplace there, “Everyday Trust and Confidence.”) I spotted a typo in The Big Four where “everyday” was used where “every day” should’ve been. John commented that he does the same thing at times. Here’s more proof that he’s not alone!
So that we can all learn something here, according to WiseGeek, “The difference between ‘everyday’ and ‘every day’ is quite simple, and there is an easy rule of thumb which you can use to determine which phrase would be suitable. In short, ‘everyday’ is an adjective which describes something ordinary or commonplace, while the phrase ‘every day’ means ‘each day.’ Confusing these two is a very common grammatical error, and learning to catch this error can improve the quality of your writing immensely.”
Thanks to our member Deletia who submitted this photo to us, of a cafe in Rochester, NY. You can clearly see that the name of the business should appropriately be spelled, “His & Hers Cafe”.
Perhaps there’s a story behind this…..err…or not. Next time someone orders pancakes and waffles, maybe they can take the time to ask about this typo!
“HIS & HER’S CAFE”
“HIS & HERS CAFE”
Here’s a quick post. Since when does 1-1 equal a win?
Am I that behind in sports?
Is this even a typo? What is it?
Ok this isn’t a typo or grammatical error, but it’s just too ironic not to post.
So enjoy!
(joking aside, we pray this situation gets resolved as quickly as possible)
Thanks to one of our members, AmyHersh for catching this typo. If you search for “Broken Padlock” and scroll a couple paragraphs down, you’ll see the typo in question.
