Apostrophe Catastrophe, Hear Me Roar!

Lynne says she was "gobsmacked" to find this badly punctuated flyer in one of her shopping bags from Food Lion in North Carolina:


The spacing and lack of hyphens also made me wonder what "complete the tell" means.

Thanks, Lynne!

The all capital letters also add to the confusion. I think it's: Complete the "Tell Food Lion" survey.

Yuck. Also, the last line uses the @ symbol just before a URL. I wonder how many people tried sending an e-mail to SeeOfficialRules@TalkToFoodLion.com?

Can't they just spell out "at" when it's not an e-mail address?
