So, I know what you're thinking. But, get your mind out of the gutter! This is a serious grammatical mistake- in more ways than one! First of all, "annual" was so clearly spelled wrong. This word can be mistaken for something else that could probably ruin a customer's interest! That, to me, is a big enough error if it is hurting one's business. Secondly, the person that wrote the sign used a prime instead of a double prime for inches. This makes it look like "8 feet." When writing in inches, one is supposed to use a double prime. If you can't tell, those pots are definitely not 8 feet! This sign might not only push away customers, it may have them demanding to purchase what the sign actually says. These grammatical errors are not only unpleasing, they can be detrimental to Home Depot's business.
