OK, peeve: "Preventative" is a noun, as in, "Vitamin C is a preventative". "Preventive" is an adverb and what they meant to put here, as in "preventive maintenance".
That's pretty darned offensive, Sharonhps, especially given the literary quality of your comment. I don't know what to assume about you from your lack of punctuation and incredibly stilted sentence structure, but I certainly wouldn't assume that you're not caucasian based on it.
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.

With all those other words in question, can you even trust the auto glass than ISN'T in quotes?

They don't know how to use quotes, either.
Ack! And they used "preventative" instead of "preventive"... PREVENTATIVE ISN'T A WORD!!!
I think these people are not caucasian they are not literate?
