I am SO glad I am not the only one.
I cringe when I see incorrect spelling/punctuation/grammar on signs and in newspaper ads.

Most ad people use journalism grammar guides, which have some different rules from "literary" English guides.
Some of the errors, though, happen because ad people are stupid.
