Grammar policing
I went on the annual family reunion trip to Branson a few weeks ago, and my copy editor radar went up numerous times at Silver Dollar City – the ol' country-themed amusement park down in those parts.
OK, I guess I can understand if plural words confuse you – if you can't quite grasp that apostrophe "s" and the plain letter S don't mean the same thing. But I don't understand why you wouldn't do some research before you start carving a plural name into a block of wood.
The Lay's? The Cosby's? I was so appalled I made my mom take a picture of me exhibiting my disapproval. I shouldn't have smiled for the picture though – a scowl would've been more appropriate.
So here's a lesson for all the craftsmen out there: Check before you carve.
