More Reasons to Proofread

Here are some items that I've seen recently. There seems to be a trend with apostrophe problems...

1. It's Race Weekend in Richmond. Watch out for the traffic. I saw a truck towing a car-carrier on Friday. The sign on the side read, "Harris Raceing." Whoops!

2. I got an online message at a major soft drink site that read, "You have won todays contest."

3.I saw a television ad for a major (not American) automaker. They used an apostrophe in each graphic after their brand's name. The text should have been plural not possessive.

4. I saw a billboard on I-95N that read, "Its time to buy."

5. I saw a Tropical Smoothie TV ad that read, "Every Bodies getting tropical." Okay, I get the pun, but it still needs an apostrophe.

Be safe and have a great weekend!
