I've read it several times, and somehow, can't seem to find the error.

Am I just missing it?   Banana Man Halloween Mask

You got one of them Father Kit. What is the other one? (Hint: it too is spelling, but most won't see it.)

That was my first inclination, but according to grammerly.com and others, either is acceptable.

If I remember correctly through means by way of. Thru might have been the correct word. But I’m just an Arkansas redneck 

 

I got dinged hard in 3rd grade for using "Thru."  :huh:

The issue with bananas would be the fruit flys making you touch your face:D

It's not an actual word, but it's officially part of DA PAM 25-20, the regulation on correspondence.  Whenever a memorandum must go from one commander, through another, and finally to a decision authority, the "through" commander is listed as "THRU."  

 

I hate it.

Time flys like an arrow but fruit flies like a bandanna.

Scarves is the preferred plural because of  other nouns that end in an F sound when singular and -ves when plural. For example, thief becomes thieves and knife becomes knives.

KPRC announced last night on the local news that they are now going to have masks made of cloth with banana designs which can be purchased for a donation to the Houston Food Bank because they got so many comments on their Facebook page about this misspelling.
