Well, that's a fine way to destroy a cute little slogan; include a non-word and surround it by quotes. Half the people who see this vehicle will be thinking, "Ur? What's Ur?"
I can barely even stomach texting lingo in a text message...on the internet even less so, but for an advertisement? Seriously? Are you trying to get 15-year-olds to contract your services?
Perhaps "Ur" drive is the name of a street in a Biblically-themed neighborhood...? And the idea this particular entrepreneur is trying to espouse involves its revival...?
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Perhaps they are primarily seeking work in ancient Sumeria?
... oh, you already made that joke. FAIL
For 'all flat surfaces.' I guess that should be in quotes, after all. No way could it be for all flat surfaces.
At least they got "its" correct.

Sitboaf,
Unfortunately, that half will all be over 30 -- the other half will say, "Oh, is it not spelled that way?"
Texting lingo is from the very pit of hell.

Right, the "Ur comprehending" half don't own driveways, and if they did, they wouldn't spend their World of Warcraft money to "revive" them.
nooooooooooooooooo! Not UR! I better not get any papers from my students using UR or I will probably go crazy.
