If pharmacies employed copy editors, I suspect they could avoid mistakes like this one:
I have no date or location for that photo. It was recently posted on someone’s Facebook feed and then turned up on Lamebook.
It’s a scream, though.
You know who else needs copy editors? Tea Party candidates. And city and county Boards of Elections. And Google News’ ‘bots. And billboard companies. And rubber stamp designers. And restaurants. And the New York Jets. And the Washington Post and the New York Times. And the St. Louis Cardinals. And drive-in movie theater managers. And Home Depot and manufacturers of “hoodies.” And CNN. And college athletic department ticket offices. And road paving contractors. And breakfast joints. And cake decorators. And Time magazine. And sign painters. And T-shirt designers. And baseball jersey manufacturers.
At least the pharmacist wasn’t named “Dick.”
I have used an example similar to this one to illustrate the need for a comma to separate parts of a compound sentence.
Alas, examples of comma omission are prevalent, including in those IDS pages posted in another thread.
