What an epitaph
We've seen engraved apostrophe abuse before but this is something else.
A tip of my hat goes to Apostrophe Abuse for such a startling find.
I really like these more permanent errors. As funny as it is to see illiterate, amateur scrawling on cardboard, there's something unsettling about knowing prolonged effort and significant expense has been poured into an error-strewn monstrosity.
Take this example:
My glee was increased when I discovered that the film commemorated by this monument to stupidity courted controversy for its endorsement of white supremacy - in particular the KKK. A poorly educated racist: who'd have thought it?
