Oh dear! Poor Rachael Ray - to appear cannibalistic just because of a missing comma!

These kind of mistakes always make me laugh. Thanks again for sharing!

At least the missing comma will have made people look at the magazine. Whereas the store with the misplaced apostrophe just has everyone shaking their heads that no one noticed it.

Hysterical :). Thanks for posting these.

Hi Janis!

It seems like the store can't decide whether to use apostrophes for the plural, the possessive or omitted letters - so it uses it for all three!

Exactly. Those banners were three storeys high. I bet they cost the store a packet. It would have been much cheaper to pay a good editor to proofread their design before getting it made.
