I'm not a football fan. So why did my ears perk up when I heard Superbowl news this morning? Because they were talking about grammar! And I am interested in grammar. Specifically, I'm interested in how grammar errors get people noticing and talking about you - and not in a positive way.
Here's what happened. In advance of the big game next Sunday, a banner is hanging against the side of a building in Tampa. It reads:
"Welcome to Downtown Tampa: There's so many reasons to love it."
Did you notice the error? For a photo and explanation, check out this story in the Tampa Tribune.
