Thank you, Adobe.  Thank you.

Yes, I know that this isn't a grammar problem.  But, I work in I.T. and useful error messages make troubleshooting much easier.  At the very least, the error should provide a starting point.  Apparently Adobe's starting point is invisible.  This is fine if you're an H.

I fully support the use of puns and plays on words, and this one would have been great. If only they hadn't lost control of their apostrophe. It's such a shame when punctuation is allowed to run wild.

Gads! What happens if I click yes?

This fellow paints custom designs on motorcycles. I've seen his work and it is outstanding, but I think I'd be sure to check the spelling before I wrote him a cheque!

Apparently we don't think much of Mr. James' work ethic.
This one was taken from a feature story in the local newspaper about a prominent citizen. The article is quite flattering, but you'd never know it from this caption.

This one doesn't really have a spelling or grammar problem, but I think we should have some concern for the fate of these poor women. For heaven's sake, ladies, lay off the beans!

I guess they saved their only u for the soup.

I found this one outside our local Subway restaurant.

They do?

I found this posted on the door of a local hospital.
