You may be able to push it if they don't have the $ in front of the .99

I wouldn't push it because most of the time they really don't understand what I am trying to say. It is just interesting to me that so many businesses don't understand that they are advertising that their products are less than a penny.

Just what is your problem, June Bug? Got some june bugs up your butt. Shame on you!

Take your own advice June bug and get a life. Does it make you feel like a bigger, better person to be cruel and cut somebody down for giving their opinions? You poor, insecure little person.

June_bug....my blog about the 99 cents signs is just something that I find to be a little funny. It was intended to be light-hearted. I didn't know if anybody every noticed this error that businesses make. It's something most of us learned in 1st or 2nd grade Math class.

You have your opinion about whether I should have talked to the police in the matter dealing with my son. I would do it again. I don't consider it to be a waste of taxpayer money if it meant helping to PREVENT some other person from being verbally or physically abused by a man who believes it is okay to threaten kids with bodily harm who knock on his door. I would much rather be pro-active and prevent somebody from being hurt than wait until it DOES become a criminal issue - AFTER somebody is sent to the hospital or morgue.

lol Lasa-I'm the same way about the apostrophe in the wrong place and people being referred to as "Mrs.(insert ladies name here) Doe" --Mrs. means married to and to have the ladies name after the Mrs. sort of implies that she is married to herself-yeah it may seem a little crazy to some to notice these things but at least I'm not dangerous crazy

I guess that I always notice these things because my mother was studying to be an English teacher when she began having children. She never went back and finished, but she always made sure we spoke and wrote properly. I tend to notice those out-of-place apostrophes, too. I think it is a curse:)

Of course it make June feel like a bigger, better person to be cruel and cut somebody down. That is the American way and one this prelude to the 4th of July how dare you bad mouth America. I just hope when the zombie hordes come to devour the living we can have a little better unity than this.

When the zombie hordes come to devour the living, they will probably spit a few of us out:)

Or, since zombies live off brains, will starve to death if they try to eat certain people.

Hee hee. Good point.

God one, Nitsue. If brains is what Zombies eat they have to stop back by McDonalds if it eats me.

Sorry!!!!!!!!!Should have been GOOD ONE. Don't send me to the wood shed, Lasa. LOL

Long time bloggers know my favorite pet pieves but for this blog I'll add the mundane "know what I'm saying?" (if I do, why refresh my memory?),,, "he goes" (what time will he be back?),, "like,, " (give me a comparative),, and the other repetitive idiotic crap!

Yes, dot nine nine is less than one and by adding the cent to it is less than one cent,,, correctly it should be $.99 but don't hold your breath for an uninterested employee to understand such complicated matters,, they can't even figure change due back to a customer unless the cash register tells them how much money to count out and give back. "IN MY DAY" we could figure this out in our heads by the age of 10 !! So WHY should I give such inept people my respect? They don't deserve it,, for this blog, they are not worthy of you wasting your breath.

You are right. Most of them simply don't care. I don't waste time anymore trying to explain it. One would think, though, that major chain restaurants and grocery stores that produce the signs would have a clue. These are marketing folks, I assume, that have the signs printed out. Just take a look around in the next couple of days and see how many inaccurate signs there are. You might be surprised at the numbers.

Don't worry Burke, I wouldn't dream of sending you to the woodshed.

Yeah girl on girl in the woodshed is hot in Georgia in July.
