For Just One Kid?

The Metro contains errors every day. But, hey, it's a free newspaper, so I guess you get what you pay for. I sent a particularly egregious error from yesterday to The Grammarphile at Red Pen, Inc.

This headline on the front page caught my attention a couple of days ago:



Is the bill for just one kid? Similarly, I noticed that the bag for Finagle a Bagel advertises kid's meals.

Also, is the slash really necessary after Cultural customs? It looks strange to me.

That slash *is* odd...I wonder why they put it there...

Thanks for linking to my blog! :)
