People have no excuse to write using incorrect grammar-especially
if their writing will be seen by the public. A little proofreading
goes a long way. For Carolyn Stevenson Silicato, a retired
elementary school teacher, this carelessness has always been a pet
peeve. In fact, it became part of a tradition in the district where
she taught: anyone spotting a misspelling in a public place would
be sure to tell her about it. Those collected missteps form the
genesis for More than 100 Signs That Prove Nobody's Purrfect!. She
began taking pictures of misspellings that she saw along the
roadways. After she retired from teaching, she carried her camera
with her all of time and quickly gathered over one hundred pictures
of highway misspellings. She divides them into the types of
grammatical mistakes that people frequently make, from "Which Vowel
Was That?" to "Wrong Words"-thus inviting readers and students to
detect the errors in each of the one hundred signs. Enjoy this
completely interactive, learning experience, and remember that
nobody's perfect!
