Poor Punctuation in Public Places

written by Marc Katsambis

13 Jul 2009

Just saw this terrible display of poor punctuation at my local KFC. The signwriter should be ashamed and the franchise should be embarrassed enough to fix it.

Seen any other pathetic displays of improper punctuation or grammar that’s worthwhile showing?

    Gotta love slang. LOL

    There’s a ton of bad punctuation out there, but I disagree that this is an example. What do you think is wrong with it?

    Only change I might make is to place a hyphen between finger and lickin’ (i.e. finger-lickin’).

    Hi Ralph. The error is a little hard to spot at first, take a closer look at the initial quotation mark – it’s the wrong way around – it should be a ‘66′ not a ‘99′.

    Hah! Got me. I needed to lean closer to the screen! It is amazing that wasn’t picked up.

    … What were you doing at KFC anyway? ;-)
