Proofreading Philly

Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar.

Phillyist "Parking" expert Amy Freeman snapped this photo on the way to work and included a note: "[This is] printed on the back side window [of] the bright orange hummer nearly always parked across from Geno's. It's a good thing he wants people to speak English, not write it."

What do you think, readers? Is the possessive apostrophe the bigger crime, or do you balk at the misplaced quotes? (As for us, we think Joey Vento is the biggest offense of them all.)
