In the book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, author Lynne Truss uses her sharp wit to discuss the “disastrous state of punctuation in the modern world.” (Amazon.com)
The book’s cover features a drawing of a gun-wielding panda bear. And then inside, the book explains that the bear—thanks to some misplaced punctuation—“Eats, shoots, and leaves.”
It’s a hilarious look at the difference a black mark makes. And so, just for fun, I thought I’d list a few of the black mark bloopers I’ve seen lately.
Seen on a local massage therapist’s advertisement: Two Massage’s For the Price of One Seen on a Christmas card: Love, The Taylor’s
Seen on Lorelei Gilmore’s T-shirt on an episode of Gilmore Girls (the season in the purple box): Love the One Your With
Seen in a high school yearbook: Love you’re friend Janet
Seen in an Iowa Airport: The above photo found at passiveagressivenotes.com
So, tell me, have you seen any black mark bloopers lately? Let’s get a list going.
