Nope.
No punctuation. And the "N" in "Open" in an upside down "U."
Technically, that's not correct either.

| #44 Posted on 8.2.02 1229.27 | Now while I might agree that it does look like an upside down "U" there's no way to actually prove that as there are no U's or N's in the sign besides that one.

unless they threw in a HUGE lower-case "n" even though all the other letters are upper-case,
just to switch things up a little.

| #46 Posted on 8.2.02 1319.40 | Come on with the "n" stuff. Someone can have bad handwriting (or whatever the Taco Bell sign equivilant is called) and still be grammatically correct. I mean, are you going to point out that they used a zero instead of an "O"?

P.S. Play along at home! Spot grammer mistake in the above post!

Actually, I believe that that should be "Farooq is the man, so hit your knees and start praying."
I think.

| #49 Posted on 9.2.02 2037.00 | And here I was talking about ending with "O"? instead of "O?"
While we're on the subject, I've been reading "Under the Mat" (another thread entirely): Page 171, line 11:
So a group of wrestler's - Jim Neidhart, Davey, Owen and Shawn - came up with various ideas.
I always love it when I catch such stupid stuff in mass published material. I wonder if it was mentioned in the lawsuit...

I'm not even kidding...I'm such a grammar freak it's not funny.
Q: If you could have interviewed Marvin Gaye, where would you have proposed to meet and what would you have asked him?
A: I would have met anywhere as long as it was before his father shot him. I would have asked him, "Hey, don't you think there's some chance that your father might shoot you? To death, I mean?"

I am just curious.

| #52 Posted on 12.2.02 1658.12 | Of course they are not sentences. I am sure, however, that you understood the context in which they were written. If not, I could explain it for you.

The following may or may not be grammatically correct. (I thought about putting IANAW or IANAE, but I believe someone already vented about those)
Anyways I just have to ask in regards to:
I have a standing bet with my better half that she cannot find a "marquee" sign outside a fast food joint that is grammatically correct in every way. If she can find one, she gets $100.
We've had this bet for four years.
Do you have other rules? If not, why hasn't she paid someone $25 to put up

|  #54 Posted on 26.2.02 0631.38 | Although it's possible to find interesting opinions with terrible spelling and grammar, and also awful articles with perfect spelling, I usually find that there's a fairly strong statistical correlation between the worth of a piece and the quality of the writing. Besides, it's just unpleasant to have to wade through terrible writing to extract the information content. And even if it's intentionally bad, or humourously bad, or even if the writer knows it's wrong and is perfectly capable of changing it but doesn't, it still means it's bad writing, and I'm less likely to read it.
