To avoid embarrassment and accidentally insulting the blushing bride to be, it is important to understand the difference between bridal and bridle. He should be careful, I hear she kicks like a mule. Also, writing the whole invitation in inconsistent Title Case makes it hard to read. I particular...

What would Diana say? Daily Mail: Apostrophe Fail, originally uploaded by Clive Andrews. Do they not know that the misuse of apostrophes may lead to cancer? While I’m bashing that horrid rag, I’d like to show you this video from the wonderful Dan and Dan.

It’s always a delight when an establishment is unswervingly dedicated to getting things wrong. Further to a previous post about rampant quotation mark abuse at a Nottingham furniture shop, GrammarBlog‘s Nottingham correspondent Samantha Moran has spotted another case of WRONG at the very same s...

Seen on the ever brilliant Failblog. My finding of this picture (yep, that was a gerund correctly preceded by the genitive pronoun, thanks for noticing)… my finding of this picture coincided with the resurgence in popularity of our original post dedicated to Think Before you Ink those whose eager...

Indefinate, originally uploaded by Codename Geoff. I posted a while back about my tendency to misspell definitely if I’m in a careless sort of mood. So I almost feel for this guy. Almost.

On a recent visit to Bristol, I was enthralled to stumble across an ‘old fashion pub’ for the first time. You would be forgiven for thinking an establishment called Seamus O’donnells (lower case ‘d’, no apostrophe -’s') would be likely to regard itself an Irish-themed pub first and fore...

Ok, this guy is either a master of irony or a complete moron. In case you can’t make it out, the sign says, "Dry Cleaning at it is best". Astonishing. Of course it’s the logical next step from the usual mistake of confusing the possessive its with the contraction it’s but still&#...
