The person who writes copy for Old Navy t-shirts has a pretty easy job. No puns, no of-the-moment cultural references, just a word about sports or summer, followed by a couple of exclamation points. It's hard to screw it up. But screw it up, someone did indeed.



Hundreds of thousands of shirts from the retailer's new college football line have been shipped to stores with the phrase "Let's Go", sans apostrophe. Major grammar fail.

I can't say I don't relate. Apostrophes and commas are my left and right Achilles' heels. If only shirts were as easy to fix as blog posts.

I obviously know the 'your' and 'you're' blunder from Wet Seal. That's elementary.

Lets = A verb in the third person singular case of the present tense of the verb "to let"

Let.. to give permission to.

But I am with you for the most part.. the intended meaning is known so really is it a foul?

Just amusing that a major company like Old Navy would allow a gaff through the approval process, how many eyes reviewed the concept and didn't catch it.
