There's a barber shop in Wickford with a sign outside that says "Your nuts not to come in". The usage of Your instead of You're drives me nuts. The sign actually means that my nuts must not come in the shop - ok, so they wont. Another advert in a Newsagents shop started with the line "While your working in London.."
There are many examples of poor English; mixing up There and Their (What's there address?), To and Too (I can come to), New and Knew (If you new it was true). When I worked in Liverpool, there was a bakers shop with a sign that said "Are new phone number is .."
I know I'm crap at English, but I know what words to use. Why can't the rest of us?
Go on then, reply with "Get a life"
