    "Merica Tee's is funny t-shirt company that get's it's content from our countries financial, business and political events."

    The only thing i can see there is perhaps it can be seen as a run on sentence. If i am missing something please clue me in.

    Thank you everyone else for awesome feedback! We will be launching soon

    Not trying to be the grammar nazi and not that it's imperative for a novelty tshirt company, but it should say:

    Merica Tee's is a funny t-shirt company that gets its content from our country's financial, business and political events.

    p.s. just got my m3 fixed and keeping it.

    idk how the hell i missed placing the A in there. Dump look over on my part. I will also agree on the other minor adjustments. Proper grammar is always key!

    Congrats on getting it fixed. Post pics!

    No biggie. Just trying to help. I find myself all of the time writing my own stuff and then when you read it back to yourself you're really not reading what's written in front of you, but what's in your head.
    I will put some pics up in the bmw section when it's totally done...going 100% track car with it.

    The apostrophe after "Tee" suggests possessive characteristics, which is incorrect. It's plural, not possessive. No apostrophe. Also a comma after "business" is missing.

    Good point on the apostrophe, i was fairly sure that the comma after business is needed though. Unless the rule is after 2 characters?

    I think lists need a comma after each item.

    I bought milk, eggs, bread, and cheese at the store.

    The meeting included Dave, Tom, Sarah, Robert, and Michael.

    I see the potential; social media links get sort of, lost, in the "Merica" logo at bottom of each page. Best of luck.

    "When there are more than two items in a list, they should be separated using commas. The last item is usually preceded with 'and', 'or' or 'but'. (These are called 'conjunctions'.) There is normally no need to put a comma before the conjunction."

    If my understanding of this is correct, no comma is needed after business. I like how everyone is into good grammar as well though. I like having discussions like there where everyone learns something. I own the domain name goodgrammarishot.com lol
