    The artist blew it. The white board has a marker but no eraser. You can add letters, but not erase them. The misspelling should be a word with one letter left out, like carful.

    I once made a living as a technical writer. I had to live with people called editors. It was like high school English on steroids. While other people in the office were debating politics or sports, we debated the placement of commas and even whether one was needed.

    The experience has made me a better writer, but I have gotten lax. I no longer loose sleep if I end a sentence with a preposition or if I dangle a participle.

    I guess if it was just “Its,” with no apostrophe, more folks would miss the joke.

    Catching English teachers would be easy. But why would you want a bunch of English teachers?

    You could add a Y to that, making it carefully.

    A better trap would be to have a dangling participle fall on her.

    There is all too much truth in this. The compulsive need to correct improper grammar and spelling errors is a curse to those of us with that affliction. But it reminds me of an old joke.

    A young girl opens the front door and is surprised to see her teacher. ‘Are your parents in?’ asked the teacher.

    ‘They was in but they is gone now.’ said the girl.

    ‘They WAS in! They IS gone!’ exclaimed the teacher, ‘Where’s your grammar?’

    ‘She’s in the living room watching TV.’

    The trap is the second error.
