Stupid. Stupider.

The other day I saw the back of a company shirt that read:
Providing quality service since 10 years.
A company shirt. How embarrassing! Thanks to someone in an upper-level management position who didn't catch the error or didn't know the difference... oops???

After witnessing that poorly advertised company shirt I was motivated to dedicate an entire blog post to businesses that use poor grammar. And I will forever judge them.

"If YOUR single so am I" 
WetSeal
If you don't know what's wrong with this shirt... look it up. And feel embarrassed...

"Lets Go!"
Old Navy
Note: These t-shirts were designed for college teams. BAH! Kind of ironic.

"YOURSOCUTE" boots
"Have your girlfriends tell you 'Yoursocute' when you show up to your lunch date in these remarkable suede wedge heel boots." 
This is annoying for so many reasons. 
I hate that they forced 3 words together.
I hate how they advertise for them.
I hate that they put YOUR instead of YOU'RE
Even if it was You're so cute... it's still stupid.


"WELCOME FREE WIFE CONTIL BREAKFAST INDOOR POOL & HOT TUB..."
No... it's not the lack of commas that is noteworthy here. Free WIFE! HAHAHA!

Now seriously... this is so sad. It should be sent to Jay Leno... 

Although this last example doesn't have a grammatical error... it's still disappointing... just in general
"I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me." 
JC Penny
Yeah... because girls are there to look pretty and boys are there to be smart. This shirt makes me sick. 
This shirt clearly was designed to make it to the JC Penny floor in the early 80's but somehow got placed  in 2011... sick. Just blah.  


Here's why grammar matters:


Please note: although I find poor grammar amusing, please don't judge my poor grammar. We can judge:
Old Navy
WetSeal
Nine West
Days Inn
JC Penny

But don't judge me! That's fair! Thanks!
