I'm not trying to be biased, but some people really should try harder at the English language before you go so far as to get a sign for your company truck. It's like the dopey cookie people at the mall... "It's You're Birthday", printed on a giant, takes at least a dozen people to eat it cookie. Yeah, no. If someone were to give me a cookie like that, I would really hope that they got it for free. Or at least noticed that they were telling me it's YOU ARE birthday. What the heck? This really isn't that hard.
And then we get back to the company truck. Granted, this person's first language might not be English. I get that part. But if your business (or should I say you're... aaaggghhh!!!!) is mowing the lawns of primarily English speaking suburbanites, you'd think that you could maybe get someone to do a glance over at your little (or, in this case, big) sign for your truck before someone like me rides around it and thinks, "gosh, I'm not sure I'd hire this company." Because, you know, yardwork requires perfect grammar and skills. This truck says the name of the landscaping company and "Free Estimates". Is this their company slogan? Are they not sure if it's really going to be free? But I guess that would be "free" estimates, with a little ;) at the end.
This is not me saying that everyone should speak English. This is me saying that if you're going to do something in ANY language, please make sure it's correct. Because you just might lose my business because I'm anal about that sort of thing. And I'm sure you're disappointed about that.
