@toep: I could read "check" and "board" by the end of kindergarten. Not sure about "directions," but the kindergarten area did have "COMMUNICATION" written on the wall. Which I first pronounced "kom-muhn-nih-KAT-toyn."
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.

Maybe the marks should really surround "and." I rarely did both at once in first grade.
@classic Steve: i second that notion.
My question is, though, can first graders read such words as "check," "board", and "directions"?
Who is this sign for?
WV: nesti--let's not have any nesti comments. the first graders might be listening.
They won't be "learning" proper punctuation, that's for sure. Maybe the first set of quotation marks is appropriate.

I say sweat shop.
@Classic Steve: you may have been ahead in your class, perhaps you were even using quotation marks by the end of the first grade!
