Where is Shurley?!

Anyone else learn English grammar from our friend Shurley English?

Apparently others weren't so lucky or didn't pay attention in elementary school to the following simple rules:
-to vs too vs two
-they're vs their vs there
-where vs were vs we're
-your vs you're
-or just any word that requires an apostrophe

Old Navy's C+ English student came up with this...
*Should be "Let's Go!!" - Missing apostrophe*

Even better, Wet Seal's non-Shurley English speakers (I'm sure more than one person had to see this before printing) created this awesome number
*Should be "you're" - not "your"*

I may notice more spelling / grammatical errors due to my 5th grade teacher's incentive for teaching us correct spelling / grammar by giving us a bonus point for each time we found a published spelling / grammatical error, but really people - on a shirt from a major company like either one of these two?

Negative bonus points for them
