I was on my way home from a run to Wilmington today, and I stopped in at the Taco Bell in Wallace. They had these signs all over the place:
Why do they have an exclamation point? Why don't they have a question mark? It's one of the easiest rules of grammar. In fact, it's probably one of the first grammatical rules that children learn. You always put a question mark after sentences that start with who, what, when, where or why. It's the "5 Ws Rule!" I just used that rule in the first two sentences of this paragraph. If I can do it, anybody can! If they really wanted an exclamation point, they could have said, "WHY PAY MORE?!" Now this seemingly deliberate typo is being seen nationwide. I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'...
sooo, i thought you'd want to know that the taco bell commercials are the same way!
