STOP! Grammartime.

I just wanted to share this little grammar bit I encountered on my Miami trip because I thought it was hilarious.

We were at a Sephora store on South Beach, and I saw a product with this label:

Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover.

I thought to myself, "Huh, now why would I want makeup remover that's waterproof? How am I going to get that off my face when I go to shower?"

At which point I realized it should have read thusly:

Waterproof-Eye-Makeup Remover.

Oh, hyphenated compound adjectives. You get me every time....
