5.0 out of 5 stars
Laugh-out-loud funny, November 7, 2009
This review is from: I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar: A Collection of Egregious Errors, Disconcerting Bloopers, and Other Linguistic Slip-Ups (Paperback)
Sharon Eliza Nichols created a Facebook group dedicated to showing off signs demonstrating poor grammar, punctuation and spelling. So many hilarious examples were discovered that she decided to share them with the rest of the world. This book is chockfull of pictures of pictures of these signs, many of them laugh-out-loud funny. My favorite being the one that reads, "English is our language/no excetions/learn it". <Sigh>
I really enjoyed this book, as did my teenage children. If you want a good laugh, then pick up this book! You won't be disappointed.

Husband's (Steve) Thoughts, October 10, 2009
This review is from: I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar: A Collection of Egregious Errors, Disconcerting Bloopers, and Other Linguistic Slip-Ups (Paperback)
"I judge you when you use poor grammar", by Sharon Eliza Nichols is a cute and clever picture book of embarrassing grammar errors. Bloopers, spelling errors, and apostrophe misuse are shown along with a comment highlighting the errors. It is divided into ten chapters; each groups the errors by usage categories, like Chap. 1, Food and Drink, which show signs, posters, messages, and menus from eating establishments. Chapter 6, Edumacation, has pictures of school marquees and a priceless one of the Village of Crestwood.
If English is your second language, then some of these mistakes can be explained. However, newspapers, city traffic signs, professional educators and the Department of Homeland Security? One of my favorites is the last one. It is a picture of a man in a protest demonstration. He holds two hand-printed signs. One says "GO USA", the other says "Get A BRAIN! MORANS". Enough said.

A picture book for people who like to feel smarter than other people., July 22, 2010
This review is from: I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar: A Collection of Egregious Errors, Disconcerting Bloopers, and Other Linguistic Slip-Ups (Paperback)
This book is a series of photos containing errors and poor word choices. The first few photos may be entertaining, but the errors are so repetitive that they eventually become only annoying. Imagine an e-mail forward with way too many attachments and you'll have a good idea of what to expect.
