Check Your Grammar, Please

A sign near our home reads:
God is like Allstate
Your in good hands.

I would have taken a picture of the sign, but didn't want to cause an accident. Can you find the mistake?

When I saw this sign, all I could think of was how lax our society has become when it comes to correct spelling and grammar. Is it texting, auto correct on our phones, tablets, and computers, ignorance to the differences in meaning and spelling, or what?

Whatever the reason, incorrect grammar and spelling reflects poorly on the people who put up the signs and the businesses sponsoring these signs. And it is teaching our youth that it's OK to misspell words.

Signs are not the only place I find this mistakes. Our local newspaper is full of them every day! Wouldn't you think the newspaper would proofread and fix their mistakes?

Yes, I used to be the queen of mis-spellings on Facebook and while texting. Auto correct and my fat fingers got me frequently. I've learned from being embarassed too many times by these misspellings and make sure I am more careful and proofread each post before sending it. I've also gotten to the point where I will not share or comment on a post that is not spelled correctly.

Signs, posts, email, etc. are read by thousands of people every day! Look smarter and proof read, please!!!
